Use-effectiveness of standard-dose and low-dose oral contraceptives in Dacca
Abstract:
Five hundred women accepting oral contraceptives at an urban clinic were alternately prescribed standard-dose (50 microgram of estrogen) or low-dose (30 microgram of estrogen) combined pills. Life-table continuation rates at 12 months were approximately 40% for both groups, with no significant differences between or within the two groups after controlling for sociodemographic variables and nutritional status. Approximately three fifths of those who discontinued using both formulations cited medical reasons, especially dizziness. The low-dose oral contraceptive appeared to be as acceptable to these urban Bangladeshi women as the higher-dose pill.
