Dear  All

PLEASE COULD SOMEBODY SHED LIGHT ON THE FOLLOWING ? 
I am requesting any information on the thrombogenic risk in patients 
receiving progesterone only contraceptives (both injectable and 
oral). I have performed searches on medline and embase,and found no 
conclusive data, yet current product information leaflets state that 
progesterone is contra-indicated in patients with DVT and other 
thrombogenic disorders.
thank you
