A comparative study of Norinyl 1/35 versus Lo-Ovral in Ile-Ife Nigeria.
A comparative analysis of those women on Norinyl 1/35 versus those on Lo-Ovral showed those on Norinyl 1/35 were significantly (P less than or equal to 0.05) older than women in the Lo-Ovral group. There were no significant differences (P greater than or equal to 0.05) between the groups for other characteristics at admission. There were no significant differences (P greater than or equal to 0.05) between the groups at follow-up in the number of women reporting serious complications, menstrual complaints or other pill-related problems. The continuation rates at 12 months were 79.4 for the Norinyl 1/35 group and 76.7 for the Lo-Ovral groups. There were no pregnancies reported during the study period.
