Physicians should obtain the mandated package insert for each oral contraceptive that they prescribe and discuss the relevant insert with the patient as part of the informed consent for taking oral contraceptives. This is best done with a detailed consent form that follows the package insert for the oral contraceptives being prescribed. The physician should give the patient a copy of the insert irrespective of where she will obtain the pills. If the physician also gives the patient a starter pack or otherwise dispenses oral contraceptives, the law requires that the patient be given a package insert with the pills: "Each dispenser of an oral contraceptive drug product shall provide a patient package insert to each patient (or to an agent of the patient) to whom the product is dispensed, except that the dispenser may provide the insert to the parent or legal guardian of a legally incompetent patient (or to the agent of either)."
