    This article provides a brief review of the information available regarding the published pharmacokinetics data for the nonsteroidal, once-a-week oral contraceptive, centchroman (INN: ormeloxifene). This agent is a unique need-oriented contraceptive agent which is included in the National Family Welfare Programme of India.

Information regarding absorption, tissue distribution, elimination and kinetic interactions is discussed.
