We analyzed data from the National Health Data System, which provides information on health insurance claims for 99.5% of the population living in France. This database includes individual information on outpatient medical care and drugs. The French lockdown began on March 17, 2020, and was lifted starting on May 11, 2020. We screened all pharmacies' dispensations between January 1, 2018, and June 7 in 2018, 2019, and 2020. Numbers of OC, emergency contraception, LNG-IUD, and ovulation inductor dispensations were measured every week and compared with the numbers of dispensations expected in 2020 without lockdown, on the basis of 2018 and 2019 usage and taking into account the annual trend.

About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
