ABSTRACT Introduction: Following a historical overview, the ovulation-inhibiting effect of various orally administered estrogen-progestin combinations (combined oral contraceptives [COCs]) are examined for their components alone or in the various combined formulations. Special emphasis is given to products containing natural estrogens. Areas covered: Inhibition of ovulation with progestins alone; estrogens alone; various progestins in combination with ethinyl estradiol; various progestins in… Expand

Pharmacodynamics of combined estrogen–progestin oral contraceptives: 4. Effects on uterine and cervical epithelia
TLDR
Overall, combined oral contraceptives (COCs) inhibit normal proliferative changes and the endometrium becomes thin, narrow, with widely spaced glands and pre-decidual changes in the stroma. Expand
Comparison of the Efficacy and Tolerability of Dienogest and Dienogest Plus Ethinylestradiol on Endometriosis Related-Pain
TLDR
Estrogen-progestin and a progestin alone seem to be of similar efficacy for the temporary treatment of endometriosis-related pain and the dienogest plus ethinylestradiol combination was slightly less effective on deep dyspareunia but was still well tolerated. Expand
A safety evaluation of current medications for adult women with the polycystic ovarian syndrome not pursuing pregnancy.
TLDR
There is no solid evidence supporting that the use of combined oral contraceptives in women with PCOS increases the risk of cardiovascular or thromboembolic events compared with the general population. Expand

This is the obstetrician's view on 3 different clinical scenarios involving bleeding and thrombotic disorders. In the first scenario, an 18 year old with a history of heavy menstrual bleeding since… Expand
Current treatment for Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: focus on adolescence.
TLDR
Emerging data support inositol and alpha-lipoic acid as alternative compounds, alone or in combination with the aforementioned strategies, with favourable effects on ovulation, insulin resistance and inflammation, and additional studies are required in adolescents, in order to assess the effectiveness of diet supplements in preventing negative impacts of PCOS on fertility in adult age.

Contraception for the Cardiac Patient: a Cardiologist’s Primer
TLDR
The purpose of this review is to give general guidance on prescribing both hormonal and non-hormonal contraceptives for providers caring for women with heart disease and newer progestin-only options have become available and should be considered first-line therapy forWomen with cardiovascular disease. Expand
Unintended pregnancy in users of nomegestrol acetate and 17β-oestradiol (NOMAC-E2) compared with levonorgestrel-containing combined oral contraceptives: final results from the PRO-E2 study.

  • The European journal of contraception & reproductive health care : the official journal of the European Society of Contraception
  • 2021
TLDR
NOMAC-E2 demonstrated superior contraceptive effectiveness compared to COCLNG, likely due to the comparatively short hormone-free interval and possibly reinforced by the long half-life of NOMAC. Expand

Estrogens in oral contraceptives: historical perspectives.
TLDR
Clinical studies with continuous low-dose progestin only formulations have demonstrated that their effectiveness in inhibiting ovulation is substantially lower than that of sequential or combination type preparations. Expand
Estrogens in oral contraceptives: historical perspectives.
TLDR
Clinical studies with continuous low-dose progestin only formulations have demonstrated that their effectiveness in inhibiting ovulation is substantially lower than that of sequential or combination type preparations, and the predicted mortality from cardiovascular disease in OC users confirmed.

Characteristics and metabolic effects of estrogen and progestins contained in oral contraceptive pills.
TLDR
The lower impact of E2-based combinations on metabolic surrogate markers may result in an improved safety profile, but only clinical outcomes are relevant to assess the risk. Expand
Pharmacological and endocrine profiles of gestodene.
TLDR
Modulation by gestodene of luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LH-RH)-stimulated gonadotropin release in vitro and in vivo in a rat model system indicated that gestodenes is some three times as biologically active as levonorgestrel. Expand
Comparative studies of the ethynyl estrogens used in oral contraceptives. II. Antiovulatory potency.
TLDR
A synergism exists between these two classes of compounds insofar as their antiovulatory effect is concerned, thus explaining the high contraceptive effectiveness observed with very-low-dose combination regimens. Expand

New knowledge in the physiology of hormonal contraceptives.
TLDR
The present review addresses some of the new knowledge regarding the physiology and mechanisms of action of hormonal contraceptives, including oral contraceptives, intravaginal rings, long-term contraception, gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists and antagonists, and antiprogestins. Expand
Ovarian function is effectively inhibited by a low-dose triphasic oral contraceptive containing ethinylestradiol and levonorgestrel.
TLDR
Ovarian function is as effectively inhibited by a low-dose triphasic preparation as by a higher, standard-dose OC containing the same steroids, according to these data. Expand
THE ROLE OF PROGESTOGENS IN THE HORMONAL CONTROL OF FERTILITY.
TLDR
It is concluded that in constructing an oral contraceptive agent of the progestogen-estrogen type these effects of the progestogen may be lost with the consequence that estrogen effects predominate. Expand
Endogenous estradiol metabolism during treatment with oral contraceptives.
TLDR
OCs containing norethisterone acetate, dienogest or levonorgestrel did not have a negative effect on estradiol metabolism, i.e. they did not elicit a higher D-ring metabolism, which is considered to increase breast cancer risk. Expand
