Sponsor: University of Utah
Summary
This randomized controlled trial will test oral levonorgestrel + piroxicam vs. levonorgestrel + placebo for emergency contraception in a representative U.S. population that has higher pregnancy risk than in the prior study because of higher weights, different intercourse patterns, and different clinic accessibility. Data from this project will inform clinical practice in the U.S. and beyond for those desiring the most effective method of emergency contraception pills.
