Avoid Oral Birth Control if You Carry Factor V Leiden

If testing shows factor V Leiden or another clotting disorder, avoid the birth control pill specifically because oral metabolism increases clotting risk.

“if you have something, like you carry factor V, you should no longer take the birth control pill. And specifically the pill, because it's an oral pill and how it's metabolized in the liver is actually what is causing the change in those clotting factors”
