Desogestrel
A third-generation progestogen, synthesised in 1972 in the Netherlands and used in Europe since 1981 in the contraceptive pill: it is used both with an oestrogen and on its own, in the so-called mini-pill. This family brings together the active ingredient, pharmacopoeial impurities, labelled standards and other impurities.
Did you know?It is a prodrug: in the body it becomes etonogestrel, the same progestogen used in the contraceptive implant and the vaginal ring.
