Combined sex-hormonal preparations are pharmaceutical drugs that contain a combination of sex hormones. These preparations are primarily used in hormonal contraception and hormone replacement therapy (HRT). The combination usually involves a form of estrogen and a form of progestogen, mimicking the natural hormone levels in the body to prevent ovulation, prepare the body for pregnancy, or alleviate symptoms of menopause.

Types of Combined Sex-Hormonal Preparations[edit]

Combined sex-hormonal preparations can be classified based on their method of administration and the specific hormones they contain. Common types include:

  • Oral contraceptives: Often referred to as "the pill," these are taken daily and are one of the most widely used forms of hormonal contraception.
  • Transdermal patch: A patch applied to the skin that releases hormones into the bloodstream.
  • Vaginal ring: A flexible ring inserted into the vagina, releasing hormones locally.
  • Injectable contraceptives: Hormones are administered through injections at regular intervals.
