The investigation of four oral contraceptives with different doses in adolescent girls showed that bleeding disturbances occur more frequently with low-dose preparations at the beginning of treatment. Nevertheless, these disturbances should be considered indicative of lesser central suppression. For this reason adolescent girls -- especially those with still immature cycles -- should be treated chiefly with preparations having only a low inhibitory effect on the central endocrine system in order not to disturb the maturation of the cycle.
