Investigate impact of Yasmin vs Microgynon on hemostasis parameters in healthy women

Trial purpose

The objective of this study was to investigate the impact of the oral contraceptive YASMIN (containing: drospirenone 3 mg/ethinyl estradiol 30 mcg) in comparison with the oral contraceptive MICROGYNON (containing: levonorgestrel 150 mcg/ethinyl estradiol 30mcg) on factors of blood coagulation and fibrinolysis in female subjects

Key Participants Requirements

Sex

Female

Age

18 - 35 Years
  • - Clinically normal safety laboratory results
  • - Standard contraindications for use of combined oral contraceptives (class label). Including:
     -- Presence or history of thromboembolic process in veins (such as deep venous thrombosis, pulmonary embolism) or arteries (e.g., stroke, myocardial infarction) or a known genetic component (homozygous), venous thromboembolic event in a close relative (parents or siblings) at younger age ( - Acute and chronic severe liver dysfunction or disease. There should be an interval of at least 6 months between the subsidence of a viral hepatitis (normalization of the liver parameters) and the start of the study medication.
    - Use of preparations where experience shows affect on the activity of hepatic enzymes.
