Desogestrel is a highly selective gonane progestin. A monophasic formulation containing 150 micrograms of desogestrel and 30 micrograms of ethinyl estradiol has recently been approved as an oral contraceptive (OC) in the United States. Although desogestrel-containing formulations are new to

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 997, 163-173 (2003-12-03)
Progestin-only minipills have been available for over three decades, yet their use has been limited, because of a documented lower efficacy when compared to pills that combine estrogen and progestin. The availability of a new low-dose progestin-only minipill containing 75

Epidemiologic research has shown that current low-dose estrogen oral contraceptives are associated with a low risk of vascular events (e.g., myocardial infarction, stroke, and venous thrombosis or thromboembolism). Yet questions still persist about the effects of low-dose oral contraceptives on
K Fotherby
Contraception, 51(1), 3-12 (1995-01-01)

H D McClamrock et al.
American journal of obstetrics and gynecology, 168(3 Pt 2), 1021-1028 (1993-03-01)
A synthetic form of desogestrel, a gonane progestin, was developed because desogestrel's enhanced selectivity eliminates adverse, androgen-dependent, metabolic effects at contraceptive doses. Desogestrel is rapidly and completely metabolized in the liver and gut wall to 3-keto-desogestrel, which is the active
