Abstract
A comparative study of Norinyl ![Math Eq]()
and Norinyl ![Math Eq]()
was conducted at the Dom Zdravlja Stari Grad in Belgrade, Yugoslavia. The study sought
to evaluate the differences in continuation rates as well as the frequency of selected
side effects which might contribute to method discontinuation. The trial included
299 women who were randomly allocated to one of the two oral contraceptives. In the
Norinyl ![Math Eq]()
group, significantly more women (p<.05) reported a complaint of vaginal discharge as well as an increase in the occurrence
of vaginal discharge compared to the Norinyl ![Math Eq]()
group. There was no significant difference in continuation rates or for particular
discontinuation reasons for the Norinyl ![Math Eq]()
and Norinyl ![Math Eq]()
groups. No accidental pregnancies were reported during this study. Both oral contraceptives
appear to be safe and effective; there appears to be no difference in the acceptability
of one oral contraceptive over the other among this group of Yugoslavian women.
