Active ingredients in G03AA

Active Ingredient Description
Drospirenone and Estetrol

Estetrol demonstrates anti-gonadotropic activity characterised by a dose-dependent decrease in both serum follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) levels. The progestogen drospirenone possesses progestagenic, antigonadotropic, antiandrogenic and mild antimineralocorticoid properties and has no oestrogenic, glucocorticoid or antiglucocorticoid activity. These properties are pharmacologically similar to the natural hormone progesterone. The contraceptive effect of drospirenone/estetrol is based on the interaction of various factors, the most important of which is inhibition of ovulation.
