A group consistent with the intention of treatment is a concept in the field of clinical trials. It involves including in the analysis of a clinical trial patients based on the groups to which they were assigned, rather than the treatment they ultimately received. Intent analysis is often used to evaluate the effectiveness of a new treatment because it reflects real-world conditions: not everyone follows treatment recommendations, and doctors often change treatment based on changes in the patient's condition.

In a comparative efficacy study (which allowed skipping the pill for up to a maximum of 3 hours), the overall Pearl index in the intention-to-treat group found for desogestrel (the active ingredient in Limetic) was 0.4 (95% confidence interval 0.09 – 1.20). In addition, according to the Limetic dossier: "The Pearl Index for Limetic is comparable to that specified for a combined oral contraceptive in the general population of women using combined oral contraceptives." The effectiveness of hormonal contraception is very much dependent on the correctness of use: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/jak-prawidlowo-stosowac-antykoncepcje https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/jakie-leki-oslabiaja-skutecznosc-antykoncepcji I attach additional information: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/43683/limetic-tabletki-powlekane/apteki/w-polsce
