A woman who suffered a stroke aged 25 after developing a blood clot just two months after she started taking a combined contraceptive pill, has published a book of poetry warning of the dangers.
Theatre producer Holly McComish is now calling for tougher screening for women before they are given the pill.
London-based Holly collapsed during a business meeting in October 2021 just weeks after being prescribed oral contraceptive Microgynon 30 over the telephone.
