Although the primary mechanism of this action is inhibition of ovulation, other alterations include changes in the cer-vical mucus (which increase the difficulty of sperm entry into the uterus) and the endometrium (which may reduce the likelihood of implantation). Patient Information for Low-Oge...
Photoreceptor rescue was assessed by analysis of cell number, structural integrity and function. Improvements in cell survival of up to 70% were achieved in both disease models, indicating that apoptosis had been halted or at least delayed. A speculative mechanism of action for Norgestrel involves ...
A single dose of .75 mg was chosen as a medium dosage with a supposedly favorable tolerance and high efficacy. The mechanism of action was not studed. The women were instructed to take 1 tablet immediately after coitus and no later than 1 hour postcoitus. All subjects were given 4 tablets...
During concomitant use of ethinyl estradiol containing products and substances that may lead to decreased plasma steroid hormone concentrations, it is recommended that a nonhormonal back- up method of birth control be used in addition to the regular intake of Lo/Ovral. If the use of a substance ...
Mechanism of action of levonorgestrel used for EC and possible disturbances in the process of implantation of the blastocyst in the endometrium, remain the source of heated discussion among medical professionals.
