CONTRACEPTION-FUTURE OPTIONS
There are several options of contraceptives studied in order to minimize the size of the dosages, frequency of the dosages, and the side effects. The major purpose of the future options also includes increasing the maximal benefits with a minimal dose or dosage frequencies, and the side effects.
Accordingly, the researches invent a synthetic hormone replicating the brain hormone Luteinizing Hormone-Releasing Hormone which 144 times more powerful than the natural parent compound. Even though in micro dosages this drug is found as a curative for infertility yet this hormone is under research in the suitably modified dose for birth control.
The hormone is acting on the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle and shortening it, and the follicular phase is elongated and the ovulation delayed. Before ovulation happened these hormones act on the uterus to develop the endometrium and other preparation to receive the ovum which actually not present at the tube. When ovulation happened the luteal phase comes to an endpoint so that the endometrium degenerate, and the uterus becomes hostile to the coming ovum, the implantation disturbed, and the menses starts.
The powerful hormone needs a micro dosage and effects will last for longer periods. Yet the disadvantage is its side effects.
Another option researched by Alabama University Researchers Norethindrone, a progestin enclosed in microcapsules for injection which can timely release the medicines from the tiny capsules. Still, it is under consideration.
The abortive drug mifepristone is also on the line of consideration as in modified dosage it is found that it can delay ovulation.
