Study Evaluating the Bioequivalence of Levonorgestrel/Ethinyl Estradiol Combinations in Cycling Women

An Open-Label, Single-Dose, Randomized, 2-Period, Crossover, Bioequivalence Study to Compare Levonorgestrel 90 mg/Ethinyl Estradiol 20 mg in 2 Dosage Forms With Different Dissolution Characteristics in Healthy, Cycling Women

Levonorgestrel/ethinyl estradiol (LNG/EE) is an investigational drug that is being developed as an oral contraceptive (birth control pill). The purpose of this trial is to compare different preparations of LNG/EE by assessing the way they are absorbed into the blood.
