Hello what type of laboratory test before we get oral contraceptives?

[@hafsamohamad6135]

The laboratory test before prescribing the first birth control pill examines the most common predisposing factors for thrombosis as well as liver function that may be affected by long-term hormone intake. Blood count: to determine the absolute number of formed elements in the blood, red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. (medicover)

Conclusions: While certain methods of hormonal contraception may not be safe for use by some women with diabetes, hyperlipidemia or liver disease, there is little value in screening for these conditions in asymptomatic women prior to initiation of contraceptive methods due to the low prevalence of these conditions among women of reproductive age.
