abstract: During a 20-month period, 26 women aged 38 years on the average (27 to 45 years) received single intramuscular injections of a combination, containing 60 mg of Superlutin caproate plus 10 mg of oestradiol valerate in 1 ml of oily solution, at 4-week intervals as a contraceptive. Altogether 255 cycles were checked. In 6 cycles, minor accessory bleeding occurred, mostly in younger women. No undesired pregnancy took place. Under the name Lutofollin, the injections were prepared at the Research Institute for Pharmacy and Biochemistry in Prague. The preparation is especially suitable for women aged 30 to 45 years, as well as for those intolerant to oral hormonal contraceptives.
