No
What is in the patch
EE and norelgestromin
What is in the vaginal ring
EE and etonogestrel
Is the first line COC multiphasic or monophasic
Monophasic
How does CHC work
Acts on the HPO to supress LH and FSH thus inhibiting ovulation
Can multiphasic COC be used in tailored regiemes
No

Yes
Is 7 days of condoms needed when switching to CHC from desogestrel/implant/depo
No (if in licence/time frame!)
What happens if CHC/POP taken in the the 5 days after taking UPA-EC?
UPA effectiveness decreased, no effect on the CHC/pop

(9-12 in 10,000)
What route of administration has best bioavailability
Vaginally
What is the implant etonogestrel dose per day?

Warfarin use not an issue however
What concentration of etonogestrel is required to inhibit ovulation with the implant?
90pg/ml = achieved by day 2

E2V (estradiol valerate)
What estrogen is in zoely
E2 (estradiol)
