[Clinical study of two monophase oral contraceptives with desogestrel]
Aim:
To compare the influence of two contraceptive combinations with 20 microg EE/ 150 microg DSG u 30 microg EE/ 150 microg DSG upon menstrual cycle, BMI, blood pressure and the side effects.
Materials And Methods:
The study is prospective, continues one year and consisted of 70 clinically healthy women, who use two monophase oral contraceptives with desogestrel.
Results:
The use of both contraceptive formulas have PI = 0.00. The intermenstrual bleeding are more frequent at the group with 20 microg EE/ 150 microg DSG. The more frequent side effects were: headache and breast tenderness. We do not find statistically significant changes in the BMI and blood pressure with the use of the presented contraceptive combinations.
Conclusion:
Contraceptive combinations with 20 microg EE/ 150 microg DSG u 30 microg EE/ 150 microg ensure good control upon the menstrual cycle, high contraceptive safety and good tolerance.
