          Abstract

          Two low-dose oral contraceptives, both containing the same dose of ethinyl estradiol (EE<sub>2</sub>) but different progestins (gestodene and desogestrel, respectively), were compared with respect to the relative bioavailability of EE<sub>2</sub>. After single-dose administration of both formulations to 18 women in an intraindividual cross-over design, there was no difference in the target variables for EE<sub>2</sub> (C<sub>max</sub>, t<sub>max</sub> and AUC). With respect to EE<sub>2</sub>, both formulations were bioequivalent. The observation of others, reporting higher EE<sub>2</sub> levels in the serum of women taking the gestodene-containing formulation as compared to those taking the desogestrel-containing formulation, was not confirmed.
