1.	Hemorrhage 02/01/1994 - " The OC with low dose ethinyl estradiol (20 mcg) (Mercilon) has as low a bleeding rate as does the OC, Varnoline (30 mcg). " 11/01/1992 - "Mercilon is the only oral contraceptive containing 20 micrograms ethinyloestradiol to have high efficacy, to have no adverse pharmacodynamic effects and, importantly, to produce an acceptable bleeding pattern not significantly different from that of oral contraceptives with a higher content of ethinyloestradiol."
2.	Ovarian Cysts (Ovarian Cyst) 06/01/1995 - "No one in the Mercilon group developed a follicle larger than 35 mm in diameter that remained for more than 4 weeks (i.e., ovarian cyst). "
3.	Cysts 06/01/1995 - "These findings suggest that the type and dose of progestogen in the Mercilon OC (desogestrel) were responsible for the lower frequency of ovarian follicles and cysts in the lower-dose OC group than that in the higher-dose OC."
