Despite the importance of birth control to women of reproductive age, there has been little
formal investigation of the safety and effectiveness of birth control methods in women with
epilepsy. To remedy this, doctors from Harvard and Columbia University Medical Schools have
developed a website that offers a survey to help us gain more knowledge and some educational
material that will be updated regularly to provide the latest information. The ultimate goal
is to develop guidelines for the selection of safe and effective birth control methods and
to make sure that the best forms of birth control become available to women with epilepsy in
all communities of our society.

Go to www.epilepsybirthcontrolregistry.com take our survey and then catch up on the latest
information about birth control for women with epilepsy.
