Abstract
Oral contraceptive use instructions contained in manufacturers' patient package inserts (PPIs) are often inconsistent or conflicting, both among manufacturers and among different brands and regimens from the same manufacturer. Instructions on what to do about missed pills are often incomplete or inadequate, as are instructions on backup contraceptive use when pills are missed. The format of many PPIs is confusing and makes instructions difficult to find and read. Comprehending the PPIs requires the user to read at a 10th-12th-grade level, far higher than the generally accepted 5th-6th grade level considered standard for health education materials.
