Bone mass is maintained when low-dose ethinylestradiol is used in combination with the new progestogen drospirenone as an oral contraceptive, making a regimen of drospirenone combined with 17β-estradiol an attractive option for hormone replacement therapy (HRT) in postmenopausal women. Drospirenone is a novel progestogen, more closely related to endogenous progesterone in its pharmacological properties than other progestogens available; in combination with estrogen, drospirenone can closely…

A novel progestin is introduced, drospirenone, to be used in combination with ethinylestradiol for oral contraception or with estradiol with potentially harmful side-effects which are potentially harmful and reduce the tolerability of the contraceptive pill or HT.

In postmenopausal women, no evidence has been found for a bone-protective or an estrogen-antagonistic effect of progestin, and a wide range of estrogens have been used that have shown positive effects on bone, which are not antagonized by progestins.

Although endometrial thickness increased slightly, the safety of the endometrium was assured, as no cases of hyperplasia or cancer occurred, and the combination of 17β-estradiol and drospirenone has a positive effect on BMD and a potentially beneficial effect on lipids.

Phase III studies with E2/DRSP show that DRSP does not antagonize the well-documented reductions of blood pressure associated with E1; rather, small DRSP dose-related reductions in systolic and diastolic blood pressures were observed, which should be beneficial for recipients, especially those who are mildly hypertensive.

E2V/DNG is well suited as an effective hormone replacement therapy, with the potential for good bleeding patterns and low androgenicity, owing to its formulation with a progestogenic component that is highly endometriotropic, has low antiestrogenicity and exhibits considerable antiandrogenicity.
