PHARMACOLOGICAL CLASSIFICATION
A. 21.8.2 Progesterones with estrogens.
PHARMACOLOGICAL ACTION
Logynon ED is a three-step preparation for oral contraception, the reliability of which is equal to that of the classical
single-phase combined preparations.
The three-step dosage scheme conforms with the physiological pattern of the normal cycle, and the total steroid dose is
lower in comparison with other currently available combined oral contraceptives. The estrogen/progestogen ratio varies
during the cycle, the dosage being administered as a 6-day/5-day/10-day regimen in order to ensure good cycle control
and to bring about distinct cyclical changes at the level of the endometrium and the vaginal epithelium. At the same
time, however, ovulation is inhibited, and the cervical mucus remains impenetrable, thus providing reliable contraceptive
protection.
When taken according to instructions, a menstruation-like bleeding is induced at regular intervals of approximately
28 days.
INDICATIONS
Oral contraception and the recognised gynaecological indications for such estrogen-progestogen combinations.
CONTRA-INDICATIONS
Pregnancy, severe disturbances of liver function, jaundice or persistent itching during a previous pregnancy, Dubin-
