Determining the Impact of Combined Hormonal Contraceptives on Ulipristal Acetate
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating Ulipristal Acetate and Levonorgestrel (LNG)/Ethinyl estradiol birth control pill for Contraception. Completed, enrolled 36 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this research study is to determine if taking a birth control pill effects how well an emergency contraceptive pill called Ulipristal acetate (UPA) works. This type of emergency contraceptive is the most effective oral method available. However, this medication is an anti-progestin and most regular forms of birth control contain progestin (a female hormone). It is unknown if taking the two close together may make the emergency contraceptive not work well. The overall goal of this research is to improve the effectiveness of contraception for women and to better counsel women.
