female hormonal drugs
Estrogens
estropipate
mechanism of action
-
Estrogens enter the cell passively (no receptor required) and bind to estrogen receptors in the nucleus, which then dimerize and bind DNA directly to regions called estrogen-responsive elements (EREs) and influence gene transcription.
The primary source of estrogens in premenopausal women is the ovary, which normally secretes 0.07 to 0.5 mg of estradiol daily, depending on the phase of the menstrual cycle. After menopause estrone is the primary circulating estrogen; it is derived from the peripheral conversion of androstenedione by an aromatase enzyme found in adipose tissues.
indication
treatment of premenopausal females with estrogen deficiency due to hypogonadism or primary ovarian failure.
-
treatment of moderate to severe vasomotor symptoms (hot flashes) of menopause and/or related genitourinary symptoms including atrophic vaginitis, vulvar atrophy (kraurosis vulvae), whether menopause is natural or surgical (e.g., due to oophorectomy
contraindications
Hereditary angioedema, history of angioedema
Breast cancer, hypercalcemia, new primary malignancy
-
Endometrial cancer, endometrial hyperplasia, vaginal bleeding
-
side effects
Stomach upset, nausea/vomiting, bloating, breast tenderness, headache, or weight changes may occur. If any of these effects persist or worsen, tell your doctor or pharmacist prompt
-
route of administration
Estropipate tablets are administered orally.
Administer with or immediately after food to decrease nausea.
Progestins
Provera
mechanism of action
Medroxyprogesterone is also used as part of combination hormone replacement therapy with estrogens to reduce menopause symptoms (e.g., hot flashes). Medroxyprogesterone is added to estrogen replacement therapy to reduce the risk of cancer of the uterus.
Medroxyprogesterone acetate, administered parenterally in the recommended doses to women with adequate endogenous estrogen, transforms proliferative endometrium into secretory endometrium.
Medroxyprogesterone acetate inhibits (in the usual dose range) the secretion of pituitary gonadotropin which, in turn, prevents follicular maturation and ovulation.
indications
Adjunctive therapy and palliative treatment of inoperable, recurrent, and metastatic endometrial or renal carcinoma.
-
contraindications
CONTRAINDICATION
Active thrombophlebitis, or current or past history of thromboembolic disorders, or cerebral vascular disease
-
-
administration
As with any intramuscular injection, to avoid an inadvertent subcutaneous injection, body habitus should be assessed prior to each injection to determine if a longer needle is necessary particularly for gluteal intramuscular injection.
storage
Keep this medication in the container it came in, tightly closed, and out of reach of children. Store it at room temperature and away from excess heat and moisture (not in the bathroom).
-
Fertility Drugs
antagon
mechanism of action
This medication is used by women having certain fertility treatments (controlled ovarian stimulation). Ganirelix is usually used in combination with other hormones (FSH and hCG). It works by blocking the release of a certain hormone (luteinizing hormone). Ganirelix stops eggs from being released too early and gives the eggs time to grow properly.

storage
STORAGE
Store the medicine in a closed container at room temperature, away from heat, moisture, and direct light. Keep from freezing.
-
-
Throw away used needles and syringes in a hard, closed container that the needles cannot poke through. Keep this container away from children and pets.
Ask your pharmacist, doctor, or nurse about the best way to dispose of any leftover medicine and other supplies.
-
indications
component of infertility regimens (with recombinant follicle stimulating hormone [FSH], and human chorionic gonadotropin) to inhibit premature luteinizing hormone (LH) surges in patients undergoing controlled ovarian hyperstimulation.
administration
For oral administration for treatment of adults and children over 14 years daily dose is 300-450 mg;
