- W2066348444 abstract "A total of 100 women who were using depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA) for contraception and who had experienced at least 6 months of drug induced amenorrhea, were randomized to either switching their method of contraception to Cyclofem, or continuing with DMPA. At the end of 6 months, 82% of the Cyclofem users had experienced some vaginal bleeding, compared with 10% of DMPA users. Time to resumption of vaginal bleeding was related to the duration of DMPA use to the duration of DMPA induced amenorrhea, and to the body mass index of the user. Over the 6 months of follow-up, 94% of Cyclofem users complained of some side effects, compared with 22% of DMPA users. The most frequently cited problems among Cyclofem users included breast tenderness, abdominal pain, and dysmenorrhea; yet a third of these women opted to stay on Cyclofem at the end of the study. It is concluded that switching to Cyclofem is a new option for DMPA users who are concerned about amenorrhea. Although using Cyclofem in this setting will not meet the needs of all such women, its effectiveness in inducing vaginal bleeding justifies a trial in those who have no contraindication to estrogen treatment.Substantial numbers of women experience amenorrhea while using the injectable contraceptive depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA) and this represents a major cause of method discontinuation. In the present study, 100 DMPA acceptors from Bangkok, Thailand, with a history of at least 6 months of drug-induced amenorrhea were randomly assigned to switch their contraceptive method to Cyclofem (a combination of 25 mg of DMPA and 5 mg of estradiol cypionate) or continue with DMPA (150 mg). After 6 months, 82% of Cyclofem users compared with only 10% of DMPA users had experienced some vaginal bleeding. The median time to resumption of vaginal bleeding was 8 weeks in the Cyclofem group. Resumption time was related to the duration of DMPA use, the duration of DMPA-induced amenorrhea, and the user's body mass index. Although 94% of Cyclofem users compared with only 22% of DMPA users experienced minor side effects (breast tenderness, abdominal pain, dysmenorrhea) during the 6-month study period, 34% of these women elected to remain on Cyclofem at the end of the study. On the other hand, 90% of DMPA users opted to continue method use despite amenorrhea. The proven efficacy of Cyclofem justifies a trial in DMPA users concerned about their amenorrhea. This regimen can be expected to induce vaginal bleeding in more than 80% of users after 1-3 months of treatment." @default.
