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…

The results suggest that the use of backup or alternate methods of contraception is not necessarily required for oral LNG + EE formulations except within circumstances of both obesity and strong CYP3A4 inducer concomitance following administration of LNG100.
Estetrol/Drospirenone: A Review in Oral Contraception
- MedicineDrugs

Estetrol/drospirenone is an effective and generally well-tolerated COC, with a potentially reduced risk of thrombosis, and may offer a contraceptive option with a lower risk for blood clots.
Chemical contraceptive impacts on cyclic progesterone and sexual behavior in zoo-housed Western lowland gorillas.
- BiologyAmerican journal of primatology

There is a need for additional research on contraceptive use in gorillas and the effects on cyclic progesterone and timing of sexual behaviors have not been well studied, which reinforces that sexual behavior in gorilla is both hormonally and socially mediated.
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
- MedicineThe European journal of contraception & reproductive health care : the official journal of the European Society of Contraception
- 2021
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.
Comparison of the Efficacy and Tolerability of Dienogest and Dienogest Plus Ethinylestradiol on Endometriosis Related-Pain
- Medicine
- 2019
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.

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.
The attention-emotion interaction in healthy female participants on oral contraceptives during 1-week escitalopram intake
- Psychology, MedicineFrontiers in Neuroscience

1 week of escitalopram administration may not modulate attention toward negative emotional distractors outside the focus of attention in healthy female participants taking OCs, and the results represent a valuable contribution toward the preclinical investigation of antidepressant treatment.
