I don't know where you are from or what your medical background is.
In the United States it is required that you you have a pap smear before being prescribed the pill as well as a pregnancy test. It is also required each year before the prescription is renewed.
I am 48 years old. I am an EMT. I have worked in
an emergency room and worked as a medical assistant in a doctors office.
They do these tests because they want to make absolutely sure you are not pregnant before prescribing the pill. It will cause birth defects in pregnant women.
They will not prescribe it before the tests because in this lawsuit happy world we live in medical malpractice insurance rates close a lot of clinics and offices all by themselves. Add a hefty payout from prescribing the pill to a pregnant woman and causing a baby to be born with a defect...well, most doctors are not going to risk that.
So as you can see, I do know what I am talking about. There may be teens dispensing incorrect medical advice on this site, I am not one of them.
Of you do not live in the United States then your country may currently not have the same rules. :)
