title: Clinical evaluation of an oral contraceptive containing Ethinyl-Oestradiol (30 mcg) and Gestoden (75 mcg).
abstract: At the Family Planning Center AIECS in Bari, 383 women have been treated for 6 cycles with an estroprogestinic combination containing Ethinyl-Oestradiol (30 mcg) and Gestoden (75 mcg). We evaluated the following parameters: contraceptive efficacy, cycle control, side effects and acceptability. At the end of the treatment, 346 women (90.4%) decided to continue the treatment while only 22 expressed a negative opinion. The clinical experience has been positively considered by the physician, considering the high contraceptive efficacy, even if 12% of women forgot to take the pill (Pearl Index 0.00) side effects profile and cycle control.
