The contraceptive effects of a new low-dose combination type oral contraceptive. 1978

H Kallio, and K Rhen

A study was carried out in 9 women volunteers to investigate the centron of 0.75 mg lynestrenol plus 0.0375 mg ethinyl oestradiol given for 22 days per cycle over a period of 6 cycles. The results of assessments of a number of hormonal, vaginal and cervical parameters showed that this combination has a two-fold effect: a central effect on the pituitary and a peripheral effect on the ovaries and on endometrial development. The findings of an effect on cervical mucus, as with higher dose combinations, were not sufficiently consistent to warrant a claim for a cervical barrier. The preparation appeared to be well tolerated but there was a high incidence of irregular bleeding in the first treatment cycle. In most of the women, however, this had corrected itself by the second cycle.
