Abstract
Nutritional implications of oral contraceptive agents (OCA) therapy appear to include low folacin and vitamin B-6 status, possible low ascorbic acid levels, relatively good iron nutriture, and weight gain. A pilot study of young college women initiating OCA therapy indicated gaps in both general nutrition knowledge and knowledge of potential nutrition-related problems associated with OCA. It is suggested that nutrition counseling for this group could be appropriate and effective.
