Q

class of oral contraceptives

A

estrogen/progestin combo

35
Q

indication

oral contraceptives

A

contraception and some for acne

36
Q

MOA

oral contraceptives

A

As contraceptives, estrogens suppress follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) to inhibit ovulation, cause edematous endometrial changes that are hostile to
implantation of the fertilized ovum, accelerate ovum transport, and produce degeneration of the corpus luteum (luteolysis). Progestins inhibit ovulation by suppression of LH, inhibit
sperm capacitation, slow ovum transport, produce a thinning endometrium that hampers
implantation, and cause cervical mucus changes that are hostile to sperm migration

37
Q

major contraindications

oral contraceptives

A

Hypersensitivity to ethinyl estradiol or progestin component, history or risk of thromboembolic disorders, breast or endometrial cancer, uncontrolled HTN, hepatic disease, known or suspected pregnancy, thrombogenic cardiac value or rhythm disease, headaches with focal neurologic symptoms; women >35 y of age who smoke

Hormonal contraceptives do not protect against HIV infection or other sexually transmitted diseases. Take this drug at approximately the same time each day. If spotting occurs and no
doses have been missed, continue to take tablets even if spotting continues. Report immediately if new severe or persistent headache; blurred or loss of vision; shortness of breath; severe leg, chest, or abdominal pain; or any abnormal vaginal bleeding occur. If you
miss 1 dose, take it as soon as you remember it and take the next tablet at the correct time even if you take 2 tablets on the same d or at the same time. If you miss 2 doses in wk 1 or
2, take 2 tablets on the day you remember and 2 tablets the next day. If you miss 2 doses in wk 3 or miss 3 or more active tablets, (if you start on day 1) start a new pack the same day
or (if you start on Sunday) take 1 tablet daily until Sunday and then start a new pack that day. Use an alternative form of contraception for the next 7 d after you miss 2 or more doses in weeks 1, 2, or 3.

Gel to be applied to clean, dry, intact skin of the shoulders and upper arms and/or abdomen but should not be applied to genitals. Gel should be allowed to dry well; swimming and showering should be avoided for 5-6 h after application.

Male patients should report too frequent or persistent erections. Female sexual partners of patients using drug should report male-like changes. Do not use higher doses than you have been prescribed, or combine with other anabolic steroids, serious adverse effects can occur. Seek medical attention if chest pain, shortness of breath, signs of stroke, or behavioral changes.
