Comparing two mini-pills for blood pressure after preeclampsia
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial compares two types of progestin-only birth control pills to see which one helps control blood pressure better after childbirth for women who had preeclampsia. If you are eligible, you'll be randomly assigned to one of the two pills and your blood pressure will be monitored at home to see how well it is managed.
