Estrogen “No
Hormone Effect
Level” is 3000
nanograms
Natural
estrogens are
~10% orally
active
Estrogenic birth control
• The "pill" is orally active – the triple bond ethyne group allows for oral
administration
• The "pill" deceives the body into
thinking it is pregnant (i.e. a
psuedopregnancy). A high level of
progesterone is maintained which
inhibits secretions of FSH and LH.
No new egg follicles are developed
and no ovulation occurs.
• Ortho Tri-Cyclen is a 28 pill system
where the progestin and
norgestimate levels increase in
every seven day set of pills.
– The first seven white tablets contain
180,000 ng of norgestimate and 35,000
ng of ethynyl estradiol.
– The second seven light blue tablets
contain 215,000 ng of norgestimate and
35,000 ng of ethinyl estradiol,
– The third seven blue tablets contain
250,000 ng of norgestimate and 35,000
ng of ethinyl estradiol.
– The final seven pills of the 28-day pack
are green placebo pills, or reminder
pills.Ophardt, 2003
