Study Summary

A randomized study is to learn more about how a supplement called DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) affects clotting factors in women taking combined oral contraceptive pills. Current research suggests that the progestin hormone in a specific type of birth control pill may increase a woman's blood clot risk. However, it is unknown exactly how the progestin causes the increased risk. This study aims to learn if taking a daily dose of supplemental androgen (dehydroepiandrosterone, or DHEA) in addition to birth control pills containing DRSP affects proteins related to coagulation.
