Contraception L1-2 general and OC Flashcards
LARC include
implants, IUDs, injections
what is the PEARL index?
comparison of expected rate and typical use
most effective reversible contraceptives
implant, IUD
____ stimulates FSH and LH which stimulates ___ and ___ respectively
GnRH
E and P
efficacy rate of contraception is compared using the
pearl index
estrogen MOA in CHC
prevents follicular development and ovulation
progestins MOA in CHC
inhibits ovulation, thickens cervical mucus, slows tubal motility
estetrol is a synthetic version of estrogen produced by
human fetal liver
estranes include
norethindrone, ethynodiol
gonanes include
levonogestrel, norgestrel, desogestrel, norgestimate, etonogrestrel, norelgestromin
first generation estranes include
norethindrone, ethynodiol
second generation gonanes include
levonorgestrel, norgestrel
third generation gonanes include
desgrestrel, norgestimate, norelgestromin, etonorgestrel
4th generation is
drosperinone
second gen gonanes characteristics
higher progesterone selectivity and androgenic activity, with lower estrogen activity
third gen gonanes characteristics
higher progesterone selectivity, lower androgenic activity compared to second gen
4th gen spironolactone characteristics
antiandrogenic and antimineralocorticoid
cyproterone is used for
acne
list some noncontraceptive benefits of CHC
improved cycle control (less dysmenorrhea, PMS< blood loss)
inhibits ovulation (lowers incidence of ectopic pregnancy, ovarian cysts), improves acne, lowers risk of ovarian and endometrial cancer
lowers risk of CRC
sx control in perimenopause
positive effect on bone mineral density
medical risks of CHC
VTE, MI/stroke
why is there a VTE risk with CHC
estrogens have a dose dependent procoagulation effect
VTE risk on CHC is greater in
first year, inherited thrombophilia, older age, smoking, obesity, recent surgery
third gen progestins
drospirenone
cyproterone`
CHC may exacerbate
BP, glucose control, increase in TG, symptomatic gallbladder disease, migraine headaches
contraindications for drospirenone
renal or liver failure, adrenal disease, drugs that increase k+
CHC most common AE
BTB
estrogen related AEs
nausea, breast tenderness, fluid retention/ edema, headaches/ migraines, chloasma, poor contact lens fit
progestin related AEs
mood, breast tenderness, fluid retention, increased appetite, headache/ migraine
