Abstract: The invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions for emergency contraception, to the use of levonorgestrel in combination with COX inhibitors for the preparation of pharmaceutical compositions for the stated purpose, and to a method for preparing these pharmaceutical compositions.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a very low-dosed dosage form for hormone replacement therapy (HRT). More particularly, the present invention concerns a solid oral dosage form comprising about 0.5 mg estradiol and about 0.25 mg drospirenone, and at least one pharmaceutically acceptable excipient. Despite the very low E2 and DRSP doses it has surprisingly been found that a high proportion of the women suffering from moderate to severe hot flushes actually respond to this treatment. Accordingly, the dosage form of the invention may be used as maintenance HRT or may be used already when HRT is initiated.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical combination product with at least 21 daily consecutive dosage units containing from 2.0 mg to 3.0 mg of drospirenone and 1.0 to 2.0 mg of 17?-estradiol in each daily dosage unit followed by intermittent daily dosage units containing the same or smaller amount of drospirenone (i.e. 0.5 mg to 3.0 mg) as the consecutive daily dosage units wherein each intermittent daily dosage unit is preceded by at least one day without administration of drospirenone. These pharmaceutical combination products can be used for female oral contraception, guarantee a withdrawal bleeding each 4 weeks and allow for the full maintenance of the drospirenone related benefits.

Abstract: A pharmaceutical preparation to obtain a continuous hormonal treatment over a desired period of time longer than 21-28 days comprising a first composition containing at least one estrogen and/or at least one progestin in a predetermined amount to be administered in the first 21-28 days and a second composition which contains at least one estrogen and/or at least one progestin in a predetermined amount higher than the amount of the first composition and comprises a mono or multiphase sequence of pharmaceutical dosages.
