This exercise is linked to my PhD research, focused on the medicalization with contraceptive pills and the discourses about it, by users and professionals or health agencies. In this opportunity, using tools of the critical discourse analysis and linguistic pragmatics, I try to reconstruct those features that allow us to affirm that this type of text is not a neutral communicative production, nor does it belong only to the instructional-expository typology. On the contrary, like any discourse, it depends on and responds to certain contexts (intertextual and situational) and must also be studied in that relationship. To do this, I start from a succinct analysis of the typographical, lexical and syntactic-grammatical planes of a concrete prospect (Microgynon) to point out how receivers are profiled in it, and also exhortations, responsibilities vs. decision-making capacities, and risk. Finally, I conclude that the decision-making capacity (regarding the taking of the medication) is assigned to the medical professional, to the detriment of the autonomy of the women, who instead bear the responsibility for the incorrect use of the drug. El presente trabajo tiene por objetivo el análisis lingüístico de un prospecto médico que acompaña las grageas de anticoncepción hormonal femenina de consumo regular. Este ejercicio se vincula con una investigación doctoral más amplia, centrada en la medicalización con pastillas anticonceptivas y los discursos que circulan al respecto por parte de las usuarias y de los profesionales o agencias de la salud. En esta oportunidad, empleando herramientas del análisis crítico del discurso y de la pragmática lingüística, procuro reconstruir aquellos rasgos que permiten afirmar que este tipo de texto no es una producción comunicativa neutra, ni pertenece solo a la tipología instructivo-expositiva. Por el contrario, como cualquier discurso, depende y responde a ciertos contextos (intertextuales y situacionales) y debe ser también estudiado en esa relación. Para ello, parto de un análisis sucinto de los planos tipográfico, léxico y sintáctico-gramatical de un prospecto concreto (Microgynon) para apuntar cómo se perfilan en él los destinatarios, las responsabilidades, las capacidades decisorias y el riesgo. Finalmente, sobre tales aspectos, concluyo que la capacidad decisoria sobre la toma del medicamento se asigna al profesional médico, en detrimento de la autonomía de las usuarias, sobre quienes recae en cambio la responsabilidad del uso erróneo del fármaco.
