Comparing birth control pills for blood pressure after preeclampsia
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study compares two types of progestin-only birth control pills (drospirenone and norethindrone) to see which one helps control blood pressure better after giving birth in people with preeclampsia. If you are at Oregon Health & Science University and planning to use a mini-pill for contraception, this trial may help your care team choose the best option for you.
