Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Working Group on Access to Contraception: Discussion
Dr. Mary Short:
On compliance, we are looking at using pills continuously and using different regimes rather than the traditional 21 days on-seven days off which always has a failure rate attaching to it if the packet is not finished or another pack is started later. It improves compliance enormously if women can take the pills continuously. That is also part of the ongoing education about any medication.
