MD is a 26 year old woman who recently had a premature baby due to preeclampsia. She is 6 weeks post-partum, and is being maintained on Phenytoin 100 mg PO three times daily by a Neurologist who was following her while she was in the hospital during delivery (due to a potential eclamptic seizure). She is also on Amoxicillin for a concurrent sinus infection. She would like you to restart her on her birth control pills at today’s Family medicine clinic visit because she would like to resume relations with her husband. She’s interested in Ortho tri-Cyclin Lo (25mcg EE, and 1mg norgestimate) What considerations do you have at today’s visit?
