Ethinyl estradiol + Methyl testosterone Pharmacology
Ethinyl estradiol + Methyl testosterone
Ethinyl estradiol
It causes growth and development of female sex organs, maintains proper female sexual functioning. It exerts week anabolic action, and also maintains bone mass primarily by preventing bone resorption. It inhibits osteoclast pit formation and increases the expression of bone matrix proteins and also improves lipid profile (rises HDL and lowers LDL levels). It inhibits growth of hormone responsive carcinoma cells in prostate cancer and certain breast cancer.
Distribution: Extensively distributed in the body with highest levels in the fatty tissue. About 50% to 80% is plasma protein bound.
Metabolism: Metabolized primarily in liver by glucuronide and sulfate conjugation.
Excretion: Excreted through urine as sulfate or glucuronide conjugates.

Anti-coagulants: Efficacy of anticoagulants reduced.
Antidiabetics: Antagonism of hypoglycaemic effect.
TCAs: Pharmacological effects of TCAs altered, increased incidence of toxicity.
Antifungals: Griseofulvin accelerates metabolism of ethinyl oestradiol, reduced contraceptive effect.
Barbiturates, Rifampicin: Efficacy of ethinyloestradiol reduced; failure of contraception.
Beta blockers: Hypotensive action antagonised.
Corticosteroids: Clearance reduced and elimination half-life of corticosteroids increased.
Cyclosporine: Increased plasma cyclosporine concentration.
Dantrolene: Hepatotoxicity, especially in women > 35 yrs of age.
Lab. Tests: With high doses of ethinyloestradiol: Increased Sulfobromophthalein retention. Increased Prothrombin and factors VII, VIII, IX & X; decreased antithrombin III; increased norepinephirine :induced platelet aggregability. Increased thyroid binding globulin (TBG) leading to increased circulating total thyroid hormone, as measured by PBI, T4 by column or T4 by radioimmuno assay. Free T3 resin uptake decreased, reflecting elevated TBG; Free T4 concentration unaltered. Impaired glucose tolerance, decreased pregnanediol excretion, reduced serum folate concentration, increased serum triglyceride and phospholipid concentration.
