SO Rev Prat. 1995 Dec 1;45(19):2417-21. Unique Identifier : AIDSLINE MED/96148042 AB Every young healthy and truly informed woman may use any contraceptive method. Teenagers have to avoid not only pregnancy but also AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases. Therefore they may use condoms when aware of postcoital contraception or must use both condoms and oral contraceptives. Non smoker women over 40 may choose between combined oral contraceptives, high doses progestogens or IUDs. Whatever the age, newer preparations with desogestrel, norgestimate or gestodene will be preferentially used due to the absence of clinical and metabolic side-effects. Smokers before 35, nonsmoker women over 35 will be preferentially given pills with only 20 micrograms ethinyloestradiol.
