Clinical Trial Description

This Phase III trial was performed as a monocentric, open label, randomized design, with 1 treatment regimen, in 3 cycles (12 weeks), with administration in multiple doses, in which the healthy volunteers received one coated tablet of the test product - ethinyl estradiol + levonorgestrel + folic acid, 0.02 mg + 0.10 mg + 0.4 mg (Level-Fol® Biolab Sanus Farmaceutica, Brazil) for 21 days and a placebo coated tablet containing folic acid 0.4 mg only (Biolab Sanus Farmaceutica, Brazil) on the last 7 days of the cycle.

The subjects were required to present to the Clinical Unit for every drug administration, which was assisted by a member of the research team. Blood samples of 15 mL were collected via direct venepuncture into tubes containing 50 µL of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) at pre-dose, 1st, 21st, 28th, 29th, 49th, 56th, 57th, 77th and 84th day of treatment.
