Study to Investigate the Effect of Missed Pills on Follicular Development in Two Application Regimens of SH T 00186 D

October 10, 2014 updated by: Bayer

Single Center, Double-blind, Randomized Study to Compare the Effect of SH T 00186 D on Follicular Development in a 24-day Regimen Versus a 21-day Regimen in Healthy Female Volunteers

In this study a comparison was made on the influence of missing pills on follicular ripening. By missing a given number of pills, an effect on "contraceptive robustness" of the two investigated contraceptive pills was measured by ultrasound comparison of follicular size and other parameters which indicate how far ovulation might be.
