Migraine

Migraine with aura =absolute CI (WHO 4)

Migraine +ergots=absolute CI Migraine +tryptan = relative CI Migraine +1 other RF=relative CI Migraine + No Aura +no additional stroke

risk factors = OK

Case 1 -Lois B

Lois returns to see you with symptoms of a urine infection,

She reports that although she is quite good at remembering her pills, she does forget occasionally, is this ok?

Antibiotics and the pill

But ILL rules, (D/V still apply, and abx can induce these!)

Missed pills

New rules Can miss one anywhere in pack no prob

even if extend pill free interval to 8 days If std dose 30 can miss 2/3**** If low dose oestrogen (20) can miss ***

Case 1 –Lois C

Lois returns, 4 months later, she is now 16.

Her parents has been complaining about her mood swings and she wonders if the pill is to blame. She hasn’t told them that she takes it.

What might you consider?

Progestogens

C19 derivatives

E.g Norethisterone Levonorgestorel

More androgenic More likely to cause

side effects

C21 derivatives

E.g Medroxyprogestogen acetate

Dydrogesterone

Less androgenic

Side Effects

Oestrogenic Fluid retention Bloating Breast tenderness Nausea Headache Dyspepsia (take with food) Consider changing dose,

changing oestrogen or changing delivery

Progestogenic (In a cyclical pattern) Fluid retention Breast tenderness Mood swings Depression Acne Backache Reduce progestogen

duration to 10 days per cycle, change progestogen c19/21 derivatives, delivery

Case 2- The condom split

Michelle 15 yrs attends asking for ‘the emergency pill’

Groups of 3 What do you need to ask? What other issues does this present?

Emergency contraception

What actually happened? ?regular partner or one off STI risk? Menstrual cycle and current position, other

contraception? (?earliest ovulation) When was the accident? Any other upsi in this cycle ?used before ?consensual, age of partner, ?Frazer

competant

Case 2 - Michelle B

It transpires that the condom split yesterday evening around 11pm,

They also had sex 3.5 days ago using the withdrawal method

What is the most effective measure for her now?

What other options are there?

Levonelle is effective up to 72 (120 hrs) If >48-72 hrs consider Ella One, (ullipristal) Always consider copper iud

(up to 5 days or, up to 5 days> earliest ovulation) Levonelle efficacy: 95% - 1st 24hr, 85% 48, 70% 72 Ella one efficacy: ….. Remember pt’s on enzyme inducers may require double

dosing of MAP

Things to discuss:

Mode of action Vomiting Enzyme inducing drugs Next Period -87% within 7 days of expected:

may be early or late, Most of rest 7-14d late ?Preg test

? Quickstart FUTURE contraception, Condoms have a 5% failure rate when used

PERFECTLY

Emergency Contraception

IUCD (not IUS) Up to 5 days after date of UPSI or

expected ovulation Failure rate <1%
