Risk of nonfatal venous thromboembolism with oral contraceptives containing norgestimate or desogestrel compared with oral contraceptives containing levonorgestrel.
CONTEXT Previous studies have reported that users of the "third-generation" oral contraceptives (OCs) containing the progestins gestodene and desogestrel have about twice the risk for venous thromboembolism (VTE) compared to users of older OCs containing levonorgestrel. Estimates of the risk for VTE among users of norgestimate-containing OCs compared to other OCs, however, are lacking. OBJECT...
متن کاملComparison of the Effects of Combined Oral Contraceptives Containing Progestins with Low Androgenic and Anti-androgenic Activities on the Clinical, Androgenic, and Metabolic Manifestations of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

Considerable advances have been made in hormonal contraception in recent years, geared at maximizing compliance and minimizing discontinuation. In oral contraceptive (OC) formulations, the estrogenic component, generally ethinyl estradiol (EE), has been reduced significantly and newer progestins like dienogest and drospirenone (DRSP), compounds with different molecular structures, have been int...
متن کاملBone mineral density at various anatomic bone sites in women receiving combined oral contraceptives and depot-medroxyprogesterone acetate for contraception.
The association between users of combined oral contraceptives and depot-medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA) for contraception and bone mineral density (BMD) has been controversial because of variations among studies. Like other studies, this cross-sectional study compares BMD in users of combined oral contraceptives and DMPA with that in nonusers. Unlike previous studies, we defined long-term us...
