title: [Clinical study of two monophase oral contraceptives with desogestrel].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  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.
  
  
  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.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  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.
