PubHealth.info® (a subsidiary of PakMed) presents scientific information mainly based on abstracts of articles published on a variety of public health issues/topics, particularly encompassing population planning, disease prevention, maternal and child health, and communicable and non-communicable diseases (like HIV AIDS, malaria, etc) that are affecting a significant portion of population in developing and developed countries. Here you can find abstracts of articles published on a variety of public health topics under category "Contraception (Birth Control) and Family Planning". Contraception (birth control) is a regimen of one or more actions, devices, or medications followed in order to deliberately prevent or reduce the likelihood of a woman becoming pregnant or giving birth. Therefore contraception is the utilization of various and sundry surgical procedures, devices, practices, agents, or drugs with the intention of preventing conception or impregnation (pregnancy). Methods and intentions typically termed birth control may be considered a pivotal ingredient to family planning. Birth control is a controversial political and ethical issue in many cultures and religions, and although it is generally less controversial than abortion specifically.

ABSTRACT

The influence of oral contraceptives (OCs) and sex differences on the disposition of theophylline has been studied in

12 healthy young men (29 +or- 4 years old), 13 healthy young women (29 +or- 12), and 10 healthy young women (24

+or- 3) receiving OCs for a period greater than 6 months. The elimination 1/2-life was longer in women taking OCs

(523 +or- 110 minutes) than in women not taking OCs (386 +or- 157). Weight-normalized plasma clearance of

theophylline was less in women taking OCs than in women not on OCs. Plasma binding and volume distribution

were not different between the 2 groups of women. Weight-normalized clearance, weight-normalized volume of

distribution, plasma 1/2-life, and plasma binding were not different between men and women not taking OCs.
