    Contraceptive Methods

    • Anti-progestins: Used for termination of pregnancy and emergency contraception.
    • Examples: Ulipristal and Mifepristone.

    Combined Contraception

    • Components: Ethinyl Estradiol and Progestin.
    • Indications: Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) for postmenopausal women, menstrual abnormalities, hypogonadism, and ovarian failure.
    • Side Effects: Increased endometrial cancer risk, breakthrough bleeding, venous thromboembolism, hepatic adenoma.
    • Contraindications: Cardiovascular disease history, breast cancer history, liver disease, migraines, age above 35, and smoking.

    Copper Intrauterine Device

    • Action: Long-lasting reversible contraception, most effective for emergency use.
    • Indications: Heavy menstrual bleeding and dysmenorrhea.
    • Contraindications: Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID).
