Combination oral contraceptives are not routinely prescribed for patient with a history of thromboembolic disease. The patients' age would not be a contraindication for this type of contraceptive. An allergy to foreign protein would impact the patient's ability to use condoms. Irregular menstrual cycles would be an indication for combination oral contraceptives.
