In the case of contraceptive failure, oral contraceptives can be used as a remedial measure. There are many types of contraceptives, which can be classified into short-term contraceptives, long-term contraceptives, and other types. Femoston is not a contraceptive, but a combination package of estradiol tablets and estradiol/dydrogesterone tablets. It is indicated for the treatment of perimenopausal syndrome caused by natural or postoperative menopause, and is a prescription drug. If medication is needed, it should be used under the guidance of a doctor, and patients should avoid self-medication as much as possible.

1. Is Femoston a contraceptive?

Femoston is a combination package of estradiol tablets and estradiol/dydrogesterone tablets. Each package contains 28 tablets, with the first 14 tablets being estradiol tablets and the last 14 tablets being a combination of estradiol and dydrogesterone. It is mainly used for the short-term treatment of menopausal symptoms caused by natural or postoperative menopause, and has no contraceptive effect. Therefore, it is not an oral contraceptive, but a hormone replacement therapy drug.

2. What are common contraceptives?

1. Long-acting contraceptives. Long-acting oral contraceptives are synthetically prepared from progesterone and long-acting estrogens. A single administration can provide contraception for one month, with a relatively high contraceptive success rate. Common long-acting contraceptives include Compound Norethindrone, Compound Quinestrol, and Compound Chlormadinone Acetate. Generally, the dosage of long-acting contraceptives is relatively large, and the side effects may be stronger. They are generally suitable for women who have already given birth and are not suitable for intrauterine device placement.

2. Short-acting contraceptives. Short-acting contraceptives are composed of estrogens and progesterone, and belong to compound oral contraceptives. They can take effect in a short time and have contraceptive effects such as suppressing ovulation, inhibiting glandular development, preventing fertilization, and altering tubal motility. If a woman wants to rely on short-acting contraceptives for contraception, she needs to take one tablet every day for a cycle of 20 to 22 days. Fertility can be restored once the medication is stopped, resulting in contraceptive failure. Relatively speaking, the side effects of short-acting contraceptives are relatively small, so they are used by a larger number of people. Generally, women with regular lifestyles, good health, and no hypertension, heart disease, nephritis, diabetes, malignancy, and other diseases can use short-acting contraceptives for contraception. If pregnancy is desired, it is generally possible to conceive after stopping the medication.
