Answer 2

If you’re thinking of going on the Pill, you’ll be joining a band of about 100 million women worldwide who use this method.


Did you know?

More than 100 million women worldwide use the contraceptive pill- of these 3.5 million live in the UK.


In the UK alone, as of 2007 there are 3.5 million women who take the Pill. This is roughly one in three of all females of reproductive age.

But the situation isn’t the same in all parts of the globe, and there are still one or two countries where the oral contraceptive is banned.

You see, the Pill has always been a bit controversial. Although it is now more than 50 years since it was first used (in Puerto Rico in 1956), there are still occasional ‘Pill scares’ – when newspaper headlines trumpet the dangers of Pill-taking.

However, the fact that it remains so staggeringly popular does indicate that for huge numbers of women, the slight risks are outweighed by the benefits.

Is it safe?

So is the Pill safe? Basically, yes. But very occasionally, it can have serious side-effects, which we’ll deal with in a moment.

For that reason, most doctors do not think that it should be ‘dished out’ to absolutely everyone, without any need for a prescription. However, in 2007 there was a suggestion by medical experts that it should be provided ‘over the counter’! This change is unlikely to occur soon.

So when you want to start on the Pill, you should see a doctor (or Family Planning Nurse) and have a short check-up.

The main purpose of this is to see if you have any ‘risk factors’ (see below) which would make you more liable to heart attacks or strokes.

Answer 3

I think medicine should be used in moderate /severe cases of things that ail you . Taking a pill for a sneeze or a few coughs is not always the answer sometimes . Sometimes you can treat a so simple case of coughing with some tea and lil honey and lemon . I seek a few alternatives to some things when they aren't serious .
But for things like depression and mental ills its best to not just take medication but to incorporate therapy . We are living and breathing and in truth sometimes to live it takes a pill here and there .

Answer 4

It seems that way. We create our own problems (depression, ADHD, etc) and take a pill to make them "go away". We're all looking for a quick fix when we want to feel better fast. And if the doctors are making profit, they're not going to tell us it would be less harmful in some cases not to pop a pill...even if it's at our expense.

Answer 5

I don't take pills for any of those. I just suck it up and deal with it. I only take medicine when I really need it.

Answer 6

I rarely take any meds. I prefer to wait out sickness. My immune system is stronger because I do it that way.

Answer 7

you give the impression you have a tom cruise-esque mind, do you feel these things do not really exist? yes, pills do help with many ailments but in some instances, our culture is overmedicated

Answer 8

thats just my opinion...
