✔️ Pharmacology

Ethinylestradiol, similar to oestradiol, is responsible for the development and maintenance of the female reproductive system and secondary sexual characteristics. It inhibits the anterior pituitary by negative feedback effect and causes capillary dilation, fluid retention, and protein anabolism. Lynestrenol, a progestogen structurally related to norethisterone, may be used alone or as the progestogenic component of some oral contraceptives.

✔️ Dosage & Administration

The pill is to be taken daily, preferably after the evening meal or at bedtime, at about the same time every day. Each subsequent pack is started on the day after the current pack is completed. Continue taking one pill each day. Menstruation may start while taking the brown pills; do not discontinue taking them. When the patient wishes for the period to begin, stop tablet taking. Some breakthrough bleeding or spotting may occur while using the second pack. Start with the next pack after the usual 7-day red inactive pill interval. Follow the advice concerning the Management of Missed Pills in case of vomiting.

CYP1A2 and CYP3A4 inducers such as aminoglutethimide, carbamazepine, phenobarbital, and rifampin may decrease the effects of estradiol. There may be an enhanced effect of hydrocortisone and prednisolone when used together. Altered anticoagulant effect when used with dicoumarol. Antibiotics (ampicillin, tetracycline, sulphonamides, and chloramphenicol) can cause intermenstrual bleeding or failure of contraception. Reduced efficacy of antihypertensives or hypoglycaemic drugs. Increased metabolism and subsequent reduction in efficacy with enzyme-inducing agents e.g., carbamazepine, griseofulvin, phenobarbital, phenytoin, and rifampicin. Adjustment in antidiabetic dose may be required. May increase plasma levels and toxicity of ciclosporin.
