[3rd and 4th generation estroprogestatives French controversy: What effect on women's behavior?]

CONCLUSION: We have shown how patients who stopped or modified their contraception method during 2013 placed the controversy influence in the forefront of the reasons for their decision. Although a medical reason has been widely quoted, only one in five felt that the advice of her doctor had clearly contributed to her choice. The influence of the media seemed to encroach on the doctor-patient relationship, which is fundamental to the quality of healthcare in the long term.
