This guideline from NICE is aimed at secondary care. For us, remember that neutropenia is defined as less than 0.5 neutrophils, but beware any chemotherapy patient with a temperature of 38 or more, or other signs or symptom of sepsis.
Contraception in Patients with a Prolactinoma
This guideline from FSRH lays out advice on the contraceptive options for women with prolactinoma. Traditionally, COC have been avoided and the BNF advises using non-hormonal contraception.
