Item Restricted Impact of GLP-1 Receptor Agonists on the Pharmacokinetics and Safety of Combination Oral Contraceptives in Women in reproductive age: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis(University of Brighton, 2024) Asiri, Ahmed; Jeffs, SimonCombination oral contraceptives (COCs) are widely used for contraception due to their high efficacy and convenience. They typically consist of estrogen and progestin, working synergistically to prevent ovulation and alter the endometrial lining.
