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

Liver function tests were performed on 40 women taking depomedroxyprogesterone acetate (150 mg), 40 women

taking norethisterone enanthate (200 mg), and 20 controls of comparable age, gravidity, and parity. The duration of

treatment ranged from 2 to 8 injections, which were given every 84 + or -5 days. No significant change was found in

thymol turbidity, zinc turbidity, serum alkaline phosphatase, serum bilirubin, serum glutamic pyruvic oxalacetic

transaminase, and serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase. There was a significant decrease in the prothrombin

activity and a significant impairment in the clearance of bromsulphathalein in all the groups studied. These results

suggest that both contraceptives have an effect on the hepatocellular function of the liver.(AUTHORS', MODIFIED)
