ABSTRACT
Daily administration of one tenth of a tablet of Ovulen-50 (ethinodiol diacetate, 1 mg, ethinylestradiol, 50 microgram) to adult female rats resulted in an increase in the liver and kidney folate levels, increased urinary excretion of folate and a fall in serum folate while red blood cell folate levels remained unaffected. The tissue folate levels did not indicate adverse effect of OCA on folate economy of the body.
