Prescribing case 4a﻿

Prescribing case 4a

2/10/2015

This week we are looking at a GP/Women's health question. This has been provided by Catherine Thatcher, TF at Sunderland:

You are a foundation doctor based in General Practice.

Naomi Banks has made an appointment to discuss her contraception.

She is 36 year old. She has three children; she gave birth to her last child 2 years ago. Since then she has been using condoms but would now like to switch to an oral contraceptive.

(Some of her close friends have had a bad experience with both the implant and the coil, and she has heard that the depo-provera injections can make you gain weight.)

Q1. What 4 questions would you like to ask Naomi?
Q2. What investigations/examinations would you like to do....remember you are in GP?

About

In order to get some prescribing resources out there we intend to publish a series of prescribing problems on the website. The problems will appear at least weekly with the "answers" appearing a couple of days later. We'll use the standard exam stationery available on the LSE, but also available below in case you haven't got access to the LSE.

Remember you can also comment on the cases on Twitter using #scripts2016

The eBNF is here if you need that as well
The PSA website is here
