Drug Description:

Desogestrel is a progestin medication which is used in birth control pills for women. It is also used in the treatment of menopausal symptoms in women. Desogestrel is used alone in progestogen-only pills, known as "mini pills" and in combination with the estrogen ethinylestradiol in combined oral contraceptive pills. Desogestrel is also the only newer-generation progestin with reduced androgenic activity that is used in such formulations. In addition to hormonal contraception, Desogestrel has been used in combination with estrogens such as estradiol as a component of menopausal hormone therapy. This drug has also been used in the treatment of endometriosis. Desogestrel can be used as monotherapy or in combination with other medicines. Desogestrel is administered through the oral route by way of film-coated tablet or via the injection route.

Mechanism of Action:

Desogestrel enters the cell passively and acts by binding selectively to the progesterone receptor and generating low androgenic activity. Its binding produces an effect like a transcription factor and thus, it produces modifications in the mRNA synthesis. The active metabolite of Desogestrel, etonogestrel, presents a combination of high progestational activity with minimal intrinsic androgenicity.
