Warnings & Concerns

While Nita is generally safe for most users, there are important precautions and risks to consider:

Major Warnings:

• Blood Clot Risk (Venous Thromboembolism - VTE):
  • Progestin-only pills carry a slightly higher risk of blood clots compared to combined oral contraceptives (though still lower than smoking or obesity).
  • Symptoms of clots: Sudden leg pain/swelling, chest pain, shortness of breath, or vision changes (seek emergency care if experienced).
