COC do not delay the menopause but they are are form of HRT.
Because of their oestogenic effects you would expect them to protect against
osteoporosis after the age of 50but no one has done the studies.
In the UK the COC are not licensed for use beyond the age of 50. >>
I've always considered that a combined COC/HRT preparation would be ideal for
