This is a narrative review, in research on the side effects of the use of oral hormonal contraceptives, as a secondary objective, to expose questions about chemical dependence in this same public.

Oral hormonal therapy against conception is, without a doubt, the most used method against pregnancy in the world, due to its easy accessibility and because it is reversible. However, few women know its contraindications and side effects, which can have irreversible consequences for these women. Due to prolonged exposure to estrogen, the medication can develop thrombolytic, neurological, gynecological and endocrine events in patients. Research on the subject must be encouraged and disseminated in the social environment, after all, the indiscriminate use of therapy is indelible in the population, corroborating a greater prevalence of side effects and ineffectiveness.
