Objective: To assess the degree of knowledge among the female users of hormonal contraceptive agents who attended a communitarian pharmacy in Zaragoza, Spain. Methods: Observational, descriptive, cross-sectional study by means of an administered questionnaire to 148 users who attended a communitarian pharmacy in Zaragoza.
