Benefits of technology

This approach achieves high contraceptive reliability, suppresses ovulation and menstruation, reduces side effects, and lowers the risk of breast cancer by maintaining hormonal equilibrium and minimizing hormone fluctuations, suitable for various administration forms.

Problems solved by technology

Only in the case of substitution products in the menopause of older women have hormones been administered throughout the cycle, e.g. in the sequence 10 days estrogen product, 11 days combination of estrogen and gestagen product, 7 days estrogen product, 7 days estrogen product in a particularly low dosage, but said substitution products are unsuitable for ovulation inhibition.
The sequential products used in substitution therapy are in particular unsuitable for contraception because the natural estradiol does not prevent ovulation in the dosage administered and the phase in which gestagen is administered is too short, being only 11 days.

Effect test

example 1

[0053] For contraceptive treatment use was made of a product which per daily unit in table form contained 5 μg of ethinyl estradiol and 2 mg of norethisterone acetate. It is noteworthy that norethisterone acetate can be used in a concentration range of 0.5 to 5 mg. The product was administered for 9 months and revealed a very good contraceptive reliability whilst completely suppressing the menstrual cycle with no side effects. Within the framework of the present investigation it was ensured that the test persons took the product daily, i.e. without any taking interval, over the entire aforementioned time period.

example 2

[0054] For contraceptive treatment use was made of a product which per daily unit in table form contains 0.5 mg of estriol and 2 mg of chlormadinone acetate. It is noteworthy that estriol can be used in a concentration range of 0.5 to 3 mg and chlormadinone acetate in a concentration range of 0.75 to 5 mg. The product was administered for 12 months without any taking interval. The mode of action corresponded to that of example 1.

example 3

[0055] For contraceptive treatment use was made of a product which in each daily unit in tablet form contained 0.5 mg of estradiol valerate and 2 mg of lynestrenol. It is noteworthy that estradiol valerate can be used in a concentration range of 0.5 to 5 mg and lynestrenol in a concentration range of 0.5 to 4.5 mg. The product was administered for 12 months without any taking interval. The mode of action corresponded to that of example 1.
