Close to 70 million women take oral contraceptives, making them one of the most commonly used drugs in the world. Oral contraceptives are safe, but they can interact with many drugs, resulting in contraceptive failure. For the latest on this information, health practitioners can turn with confidence to "Oral Contraceptives 1994", a Report by the Special Advisory Committee on Reproductive Physiology which is made up of 10 eminent physicians across Canada. It recommends, for example, that healthy non-smoking women over 35 can continue to take the pill without fear.
