Brief Summary  
           Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), the main endocrine disorder, has an estimated prevalence of 6–10 percent among reproductive-aged women. It is associated with irregular menstruation, infertility, hirsutism, and metabolic syndrome, especially elevated insulin resistance (IR). IR resulted in impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) among 30–40% of PCOS. Treatment of PCOS involves lifestyle modification and medication, especially combined oral contraceptives (COCs), particularly COCs containing drospirenone (DRSP), which inhibits mineralocorticoid effects and demonstrates anti-androgenic activity.
    COCs containing EE and DRSP did not affect fasting blood sugar (FBS), fasting insulin, HOMA-IR, oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), or insulin under the curve (IR-AUC) at 3 months compared to baseline. 
    In menopausal women, E4 did not result in any significant change in fasting glucose levels. However, it did exhibit positive effects on insulin resistance, hemoglobin A1c, and glucose tolerance.
A novel form of COCs contains 15 mg of E4 and 3 mg of DRSP, which does not affect FBS, or insulin levels in non-PCOS women. Based on treatment in PCOS, there is a lack of studies on the impact of COCs containing E4/DRSP on carbohydrate metabolism. Hence, the objective of this study is to compare COCs containing E4/DRSP versus EE/DRSP on glucose tolerance in PCOS women.
