Norgestrel Ethinyl Estradiol Tablets
Function and Efficacy
Ethinyl estradiol (ethinyl estradiol cyclopentyl ether) is a long-acting estrogen. After oral administration, it is absorbed through the gastrointestinal tract and stored in adipose tissue. It slowly releases ethinyl estradiol, inhibiting ovarian ovulation by inhibiting the hypothalamus-pituitary-ovarian axis, achieving a long-term contraceptive effect. Progesterone combined with it has a synergistic effect on inhibiting ovulation and can transform the endometrium, presenting a secretory phenomenon, leading to withdrawal bleeding, and forming a cyclical change. Taking the medicine once a month, the contraceptive rate can reach more than 98%.

For oral administration, take the medicine once after lunch on the 5th day starting from the day of menstruation, and take the second time after an interval of 20 days, or take 1 tablet after lunch on the 5th or 10th day of menstruation. Thereafter, the second dose will be used as the monthly medication date. Take one tablet per month. Generally, withdrawal bleeding will occur 6 to 12 days after taking the medicine.
Adverse Reactions
1. Early pregnancy reaction, similar to short-acting oral contraceptives, but more severe. The first few cycles of taking the medicine are more severe, and the reaction usually occurs 8 to 12 hours after taking the medicine. Therefore, taking the medicine after lunch so that the reaction peaks during deep sleep can reduce it. 2. Increased vaginal discharge: the most common side effect of long-acting oral contraceptives. It usually occurs after 3 to 6 cycles. 3. A few people experience excessive menstruation or amenorrhea. 4. Other symptoms include stomach pain, edema, breast tenderness, headache, etc.

Drug Interactions
1. Drugs that affect contraceptive effects: Antibiotics inhibit the growth of intestinal bacteria, reduce the decomposition of hormone conjugates, and reduce enterohepatic circulation; drugs that induce liver enzymes such as rifampicin, hypnotics and anticonvulsants, antipyretics and analgesics; tricyclic antidepressants compete with this product in the liver for common metabolic enzymes. 2. Drugs that are affected by the combined use of contraceptives: The antihypertensive effect of antihypertensive drugs is reduced; the effect of anticoagulants is reduced; the efficacy of hypoglycemic drugs (such as insulin and oral hypoglycemic drugs) in controlling diabetes is reduced; the effect of tricyclic antidepressants is enhanced.
