Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Determine the bioequivalence of NGM (as measured by the pharmacokinetics of its active breakdown product NGMN) and EE in 2 formulations of 250 mcg NGM/25 mcg EE, 1 without folic acid and 1 containing 400 mcg folic acid.
Evaluate the pharmacokinetic drug interaction between folic acid and OC (250 mcg NGM and 35 mcg EE) as measured by the pharmacokinetics of the active breakdown products of NGM, (norelgestromin [NGMN], and norgestrel [NG]) and EE.

Secondary Endpoints

Determine the pharmacokinetics of NG in these 2 formulations; and to characterize the pharmacokinetics of plasma folate after the administration of folic acid alone or in combination with 250 mcg NGM/25 mcg EE. Safety also was assessed.
Safety is also assessed.
