  • Title: Oral contraceptives in acute viral hepatitis.
    Author: Schweitzer IL, Weiner JM, McPeak CM, Thursby MW.
    Journal: JAMA; 1975 Sep 01; 233(9):979-80. PubMed ID: 1173920.
    Abstract:
    Thirty-four women took oral contraceptives during a major part, or throughout the course, of acute viral hepatitis. The acute illness and sequelae during the following year were compared to those of 34 matched control women with acute viral hepatitis who never took oral contraceptives. Statistical and clinical analysis showed no difference in severity of acute illness or frequency of sequelae. These findings suggest that oral contraceptives are not detrimental when taken during a course of acute viral hepatitis.
