Abstract: A pharmaceutical composition comprises, as a first active agent, 6?,7?;15?,16?-dimethene-3-oxo-17?-pregn-4-ene-21,17-carbolactone (drospirenone) in an amount corresponding to a daily dosage, on administration of the composition, of from about 2 mg to about 4 mg, and, as a second active agent, 17?-ethinylestradiol (ethinylestradiol) in an amount corresponding to a daily dosage of from about 0.01 mg to about 0.05 mg, together with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers or excipients. In a specific embodiment, the composition consists of a number of separately packaged and individually removable daily dosage units placed in a packaging unit and intended for oral administration for a period of at least 21 consecutive days, wherein said daily dosage units comprises the combination of drospirenone and ethinylestradiol. The composition may further comprise 7 or less daily dosage units containing no active agent or containing ethinylestradiol alone.

Abstract: A motorised head (3) for a breast pump comprising a motor unit (35) including a motor and a drive mechanism (22) for driving a pump, a body mounting portion which is fixedly mountable to a body of a breast pump, a motor mounting portion (39) on which the motor and drive mechanism (22) are disposed, and a resiliently deformable member (49) connecting the body mounting portion and the motor mounting portion such that the resiliently deformable member reduces the transfer of vibration caused by the motor or drive mechanism to a breast pump body to which the body mounting portion is mounted.
