Which contraceptive is best for women with high blood pressure?

By Andrea Rodrigo B.Sc., M.Sc. (embryologist).
Last Update: 12/07/2016

The mini-pill or progestogen-only pill, as well as the contraceptive injection, are the safest birth control methods in these cases. Even though the mini-pill is not as reliable as the combined pill, if used carefully the failure rate is low. The combined pill is unadvisable because it can increase the risk for arterial disease.
