The effect of oral contraceptive use on serum immunoglobulin levels was studied in 82 women who used various combination preparations over a 24 cycle period. IgA, IgM, and IgG concentrations all fell markedly during the first cycle of use, but by the end of the observation period there was no significant deviation from the original levels. The preparation Deposiston caused the greatest decline in serum immunoglobulin levels.
