Newer Pill has low blood clot risk: ob-gyn group

NEW YORK, Oct 25: A newer version of the Pill may carry a slightly higher blood clot risk than older formulations – but it’s still a small risk, says the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. In new recommendations, the group says that women should be aware of the “possible minimally increased risk” of blood clots with birth control pills containing the hormone drospirenone. (agencies)
