New skin patch aims to offer weekly birth control option
NCT ID NCT01166412
Summary
This study tested a new type of birth control: a weekly skin patch that releases the hormone levonorgestrel. About 120 healthy women tried one of two different dose patches for 11 weeks to see how well it prevents pregnancy, how safe it is, and how it affects the body. Researchers measured how the patch sticks to the skin, if it causes irritation, and how it changes cervical mucus and ovulation.
