A comparative analysis of those women on Norinyl 1/35 versus those on Lo‐Ovral showed those on Norinyl 1/35 were significantly (P ⩽ 0.05) older than women in the Lo‐Ovral group. There were no significant differences (P ⩾ 0.05 between the groups for other characteristics at admission. There were no significant differences (P ⩾ 0.05) between the groups at follow‐up in the number of women reporting serious complications, menstrual complaints or other pill‐related problems. The continuation rates at 12 months were 79.4 for the Norinyl 1/35 group and 76.7 for the Lo‐Ovral groups. There were no pregnancies reported during the study period.
