[The desogestrel-ethinyl estradiol combination and overweight: current data]
Abstract
The effects of various progestins combined with ethynil estradiol, on body weight, are reviewed. A new group of obese patients being treated for weight excess, using desogestrel-ethynil estradiol (150 mg plus 30 mcg) as a contraceptive, was studied in conditions similar to those published in 1992. Very satisfactory results were obtained, as these patients lost body weight until reached ideal weight, without interference from the contraceptive compound used.
