%X Total serum, albumin, globulin, albumin/globulin ratio and cholesterol levels were determined in 25 subjects on oral contraceptives and 25 controls. The mean serum total protein, globulin and cholesterol levels were significantly increased in oral contraceptive and their control counterparts. The albumin/globulin ratio in subjects on oral contraceptives users is significantly decreased compared with controls. In view of the finding of this study, it is suggested that the biochemical profile of long-term oral contraceptive users be assessed periodically. R¨¦sum¨¦ S¨¦rum prot¨¦ine totale, albumine, globuline, le rapport albumine/globuline et le niveau du cholest¨¦rol tous ¨¦taient determines chez 25 clients, en utilisant contraceptives oraux (vaccin) buccal; et 25 des cas t¨¦moins. La moyenne s¨¦rume prot¨¦ine totale, globuline et le niveau du cholesterol avait ¨¦t¨¦ manifestement augument¨¦s sur contraceptives oraux et chez les cas t¨¦moins contre-parties. Le rapport albumine/globuline chez les clients qui utilisent les contraceptives oraux ¨¦tait en baisse par rapport aux cas t¨¦moins. Prenant les resultants de cette ¨¦tude en consideration nous proposons qui l'on entre prend l'evaluation p¨¦riodique d'un enregistrement biochimique ¨¤ long terme des utilisateurs des contraceptives oraux.
