A prospective study of two combined oral contraceptives was conducted in the Sudan. No pregnancies occurred. Overall incidence of side effects was low. Headache was most frequently reported.

Menstrual irregularities were not a problem for the users. Total 6-month use discontinuation rates were low for both pill groups.
