Hi,
Thanks for consulting us.
Generally, women who are currently healthy, not suffering from any medical or gynecological problems, are under 35 years of age & do not smoke can take birth control pills, without much risk, but, it is a good practice to visit a Gynecologist before starting it first time as you may have a contra-indication or a risk factor that make the use of pills unsafe for you.
Hope you got my point.
Take care.
