Application

Nomegestrol acetate EP Reference standard, intended for use in laboratory tests only as specifically prescribed in the European Pharmacopoeia.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Nomegestrol acetate (NOMAc) is a potent, highly selective progestogen, a full agonist at the progesterone receptor, with no or minimal binding to other steroid receptors. It shows potent antigonadotropic activity mediated at the hypothalamic and pituitary level with strong antiestrogenic effects and a partial antiandrogenic effect. NOMAc is used in various formulations as a contraceptive.
Progestogen, contraceptive

Progestogens are used in clinical practice in some conditions. Their effects depend on their chemical structure, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, with important differences among various progestogens. Generally, progestins are classified according to their parent molecule, of which often they keep some features.
