Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The objective of the study is to compare the oral contraceptive (OC) SH T00658ID over Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo administered for 13 cycles to healthy female volunteers between 18 and 50 years of age who request oral contraceptive protection. Subjects on a levonorgestrel (LNG), norgestimate (NGM), norethindrone or norethindrone acetate containing oral contraceptive in a 21-day regimen suffering from hormone withdrawal-associated symptoms such as pelvic pain or headache or both, and willing to continue OC use but to switch to SH T00658ID or Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo.
