Sponsored by:	Duramed Research
Information provided by:	Duramed Research
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:	NCT00544882

Purpose

This is a multi-center study to evaluate hormone levels with the oral contraceptive regimen DR-1021. Study duration will be approximately 12-20 weeks including a screening period, a 28-day baseline cycle, a 28-day randomized cycle, and a 21-day follow-up cycle.
