Disease relevance of Ovrette

 

Psychiatry related information on Ovrette

  • Levonorgestrel implants (Norplant) have recently been approved for use in the United States. Adolescents may be especially suited for this method of contraception because of its long duration of action and lack of dependence on patient compliance for efficacy [6].
  • The contraceptive effect of d-norgestrel given immediately after copulation in various quantities was investigated in rabbits [7].
  • No formal studies have been performed to evaluate the use of subdermal levonorgestrel implants in patients with mental retardation and physical disabilities [8].
  • The estrogen-progestin therapy group consisted of 13 women with an intact uterus, who received a simultaneous combination of a transdermal patch and a levonorgestrel (20 microg/day) intrauterine system for the same length of time [9].
  • Further trials are needed, however, to verify whether the good results observed are maintained during an entire 5-year period, to confirm the efficacy on dyspareunia and dyschezia, and to compare the effects of the levonorgestrel intrauterine device with those of other treatment options [10].
