WOMEN&More

This website contains information about the WOMEN&More study into a new contraceptive

This research is about a contraceptive that is:

  • Weekly: one tablet once a week
  • Oral: swallowing the tablet
  • Mifepristone as its name
  • Easy: once a week and reminder via the app
  • No 'normal hormones' from the pill or other contraceptives

And More? 

  • Almost anyone who menstruates (18 up to and including 35 years) can participate in the study
  • Mifepristone 50 mg once a week is expected to be a safe and effective contraceptive, with few side effects
  • It is expected that monthly blood loss will decrease significantly when using this contraceptive and may possibly stop completely
