The paper reports the results of a study to assess the contraceptive efficacy of a new triphasic pill (Trinovum - Cilag AG). The pill was administered to 50 women aged between 18 and 41 years for 12 months, giving a total of 600 menstrual cycles. Data confirm the value of this pill which ensures excellent contraceptive efficacy and is well tolerated by patients with very few adverse effects.
