The effect of two triphasic oral contraceptives (Triquilar [TRQ] and Trisiston [TRS]) containing ethinyl estradiol (EE) and levonorgestrel (LNG) on various hormonal parameters was investigated in 26 women during a cross-over study. TRS consisted of 0.03 mg EE + 0.05 mg LNG (six tablets), 0.04 mg EE + 0.075 mg LNG (six tablets), and 0.03 mg EE + 0.15 mg LNG (nine tablets), whereas TRQ was different in the second phase (five tablets) and third phase (10 tablets). Blood samples were taken on days 6, 11, 21, and 28 of the control and washout cycles and the third treatment cycle. Both formulations inhibited ovulation reliably and decreased the serum levels of gonadotropins, free testosterone, and dehydroepiandosterone sulfate in a time-dependent manner, whereas estradiol and testosterone were already suppressed on day 6, indicating a direct suppressive effect on ovarian steroid synthesis. Prolactin, which rose sporadically in some women, was not significantly changed. In contrast, the levels of sex hormone binding globulin, corticosteroid binding globulin, and cortisol were significantly elevated by 100%. During the hormone-free interval of 7 days, all parameters returned at least partly to baseline. There was no significant difference between the effects of both formulations. The results suggest the possibility of a direct inhibitory effect of contraceptive steroids on ovarian steroid synthesis.

PIP: A randomized crossover study involving 26 women in Germany investigated the effect of two triphasic oral contraceptives (OCs) on selected hormonal parameters. The first triphasic, Trisiston, contained 0.03 mg of ethinyl estradiol (EE) and 0.05 mg of levonorgestrel (LNG) (6 tablets), 0.04 mg EE and 0.075 mg LNG (6 tablets), and 0.03 mg EE and 0.15 mg LNG (9 tablets). The second, Triquilar, differed from the first in the second (5 tablets) and third (10 tablets) phases. Serum samples were collected on days 6, 11, 21, and 28 of the control and washout cycles and the third treatment cycle. There were no significant differences in the hormonal effects of the two formulations. Both triphasics inhibited ovulation reliably and decreased serum levels of gonadotropins, free testosterone, and dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate in a time-dependent manner. Estradiol and testosterone were already suppressed on day 6. Prolactin rose sporadically in some women, but was not significantly changed. In contrast, levels of sex hormone binding globulin, corticosteroid binding globulin, and cortisol were significantly elevated by 100%. During the 7-day hormone-free interval, all parameters returned at least partly to baseline. These findings suggest a direct inhibitory effect of OC steroids on ovarian steroid synthesis.
