NCT00764881

Brief Summary

The aim of the study is to investigate whether women on oral contraceptives (OCs) suffering from acquired OC-associated female sexual dysfunction (FSD) for at least 3 months but no longer than one year will express the same level of sexual distress when taking SH T00658ID compared to Microgynon, the usual OC prescribed for women with OC-associated FSD.

  • Change From Baseline to Cycle 6 in the Total of Questions 1 to 6 of the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) - Per Protocol Set (PPS)

    Change from Baseline FSFI domains in desire and arousal component scores at Cycle 6. The change in score ranges from -28 (worst) to 28 (best).

    Baseline up to Cycle 6 (28 days per Cycle)

Secondary Outcomes (108)
