ReviewCyproterone acetate with ethinylestradiol as a risk factor for venous thromboembolism: an epidemiological evaluation.
To review the incidence of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in association with combined cyproterone acetate and ethinylestradiol (CPA/EE) use, compared to the incidence of VTE in association with conventional oral contraceptive (OC) use, in women aged 14 to 49 years. ⋯ The evidence in the worldwide literature does not demonstrate an excess of health-threatening harm for CPA/EE. A best-evidence synthesis, using sound epidemiological methods, showed clearly that the risks of VTE among CPA/EE users do not exceed the risks of VTE among conventional OC users.
