Definitions

  • oral contraceptives consist of a combination of a progestin and estrogen that are administered concurrently for 21 days followed either by a 7 day pill free interval or by the administration of a placebo for 7 days in each 28 day cycle.
  • the most important aspects of a successful oral contraceptive product are effective contraception, good cycle control (absence of spotting and breakthrough bleeding and occurrence of withdrawal bleeding), and minimal side effects.
  • Combination oral contraceptives have traditionally acted by suppression of gonadotropins.
  • the progestin component is primarily responsible for contraceptive efficacy through inhibition of ovulation, and other peripheral effects which include changes in the cervical mucus (which increase the difficulty of sperm entry into the uterus) and the endometrium (which reduce the likelihood of implantation).
  • the estrogenic component intensifies the anovulatory effect of the progestin, and is also important for maintaining cycle control.
  • Levonorgestrel is the biologically active moiety of racemic norgestrel. It is strongly progestational, has no inherent estrogenic activity, is antiestrogenic, and possesses good biologic activity. The contraceptive effects of levonorgestrel are manifested throughout the hypothalamic- pituitary-gonadal-target organ axis. Ethinyl estradiol (EE) is the estrogen most frequently used in combination OCs.
  • progestin/estrogen combination is administered either as a fixed dosage combination (monophasic) or as biphasic or triphasic regimens in which the dosage of the combination is varied either once or twice throughout the menstrual cycle.
  • the progestin/estrogen combination is typically administered for 21 days followed by either a 7-day pill free period or the administration of a non-contraceptive placebo (or iron supplement) for 7 days.
  • 3-ketodesogestrel (3-KDSG), desogestrel (DSG), levonorgestrel (LNg), gestodene (GTD), norgestrel (NG), and norethindrone (NE) are typically used as the progestin while ethinyl estradiol (EE); 17 ⁇ -estradiol, and mestranol are typically the estrogenic components.
  • Other progestins less frequently used include drospirenone (DRSP) and dienogest (DGST).
  • DRSP drospirenone
  • DGST dienogest
