摘要：Background We aimed to compare acceptability of Levonorgestrel with the Yuzpe regimen among Iranian women based on their side-effects and resulting changes in the amount and pattern of menses. Methods Five hundred twenty nine participants aged 15-49 having regular menses and one act of unprotected intercourse within 72 h were included in the double-blind, controlled trial in 2006-2007 and randomly assigned into LNG (n=263) and HD (n=266) groups, receiving Levonorgestrel 0.75 mg given 12 h apart and ethinyl estradiol 100 μg plus 0.5 mg Levonorgestrel 0.5 mg repeated after 12 h, respectively. Results The participants receiving Levonorgestrel experienced significantly lower side-effects in the case of nausea, vomiting, and dizziness ( P <0.05). The changes occurred in the amount and pattern of menses were the same for both groups ( P >0.05). No significant difference was observed between the efficiencies of the treatments. Conclusion Significantly lower side-effects of Levonorgestrel can be considered as greater acceptability and translated to higher efficiency.
