Abstract:
AIM: This 12-month study was conducted to evaluate the skeletal effects of two monophasic oral contraceptives containing 20 mug of ethinylestradiol and 100 mug of levonorgestrel (LEVO) or 150 mug of desogestrel (DESO). METHODS: Fifty-two women (18-24 years) were randomized into the DESO group or the LEVO group; 36 women served as controls.
