Kluft, C. (author), Lansink, M. (author), Gaubius Instituut TNO (author)Combined oral contraceptives (COCs) have effects on a large number of haemostasis variables. We have summarised literature data on effects of COCs containing 30-35 μg ethinyl estradiol for the third generation of progestogens (PGs): desogestrel, gestodene and norgestimate. It is concluded that about 15 variables show a shift in distribution of...article 1997
