One-month injection as a depot contraceptive and for hormone replacement therapy for peri- and premenopausal women

摘要

A once-a-month-injectable that contains an oestrogen and a gestagen component as active substances is used to prepare a contraceptive medicament useful at the same time in the hormone replacement therapy for perimenopausal and premenopausal women. A reliable contraceptive effect with a "natural" oestrogen (without ethinyl oestradiol) is achieved with this medicament, as well as an effective therapy of the first oestrogen deficiency symptoms and the prevention of osteoporosis.
