[High-dose progestational contraception: advantages].
In spite of the nearly total effectiveness of classic estrogen-progestogen oral contraception and its good overall tolerance, in a not inconsiderable number of situations yet, it is not possible to resort to it. These situations are the following: high blood pressure, hyperlipemia, diabetes, minor mastopathy, premenstrual tension either spontaneous or under estroprogestogen therapy. Macroprogestational contraception using either pregnanes (chlormadinone acetate) or nor-pregnanes, promegestone, nomegestrol acetate, can be then the right solution. Clinical and metabolic tolerance is excellent. In the occurrence of hypoestrogeny symptoms, a combination of nomegestrol acetate-estradiol 17 beta, transdermally administered, has given top results in a preliminary study.
