  • Title: [Differentiated application of oral contraceptives basing on the different side effects of synthetic progestins (author's transl)].
    Author: Braendle W, Leidenberger F.
    Journal: Ther Umsch; 1976 Apr; 33(4):231-3. PubMed ID: 137547.
    Abstract:
    The different side effects of synthetic progestins used in oral contraceptives offer the possibility of avoiding undesired side effects and accentuating desired ones. Based on our clinical studies with antiandrogens (cyproterone acetate) selection of an oral contraceptive with antiandrogenic side effects for women with virilization phenomena (acne, seborrhea oleosa) is proposed. These women should at least not be treated with gestagens which have androgenic side effects, such as nortestosterone derivatives. Women suffering from severe acne, androgenic alopecia, or idiopathic hirsutism should be treated with higher doses of antiandrogens.
