TH, a 35-year-old female, goes to the pharmacy shortly after being released from the local hospital. She presented a prescription for a low molecular weight heparin to the pharmacist, saying that she would like this filled while she looks for a box of condoms. She explains that, the previous week, she had presented to her physician's office with a complaint of a red, swollen, and painful leg. After a thorough work-up, the physician determined that TH had a deep vein thrombosis. When TH returns to the counter for her prescription, she comments to the pharmacist that the condoms are only temporary and that she has every intention of restarting her birth control as soon as she visits her physician later that week. She explains that the physician suspected that a contributing cause of THs clot was her smoking. Upon discharge, the physician had informed TH that he would not be renewing her birth control tablets in light of her blood clot and her continued smoking. TH explains that she does not believe that smoking played a role. It was just a fluke and could have happened to anyone. I didnt stop smoking when he told me to when I started on the pill, so I sure am not going to do it now.? TH asked the pharmacist what other options are available for birth control.? My husband and I are not going to want to use condoms forever. She wants to know if she can use patches or that ring? She wants to use one of those since I wouldn't actually be ingesting it?
