OVIDON-RICHTER - abstract Gideon Richter

Before starting to use the drug, it is necessary to conduct a general medical and gynecological examination (primarily measuring blood pressure, determining blood sugar levels, testing liver function, examining the mammary glands, cytological analysis of a cervical smear) to exclude risk-related diseases and pregnancy. Since the drug contains a high amount of estrogen, questioning the patient during a medical examination requires special attention, taking into account the history of previous illnesses. For women with a family history of thromboembolic diseases at a young age or bleeding disorders, the use of Ovidon is not allowed. Particular caution is required in the presence of diabetes mellitus, heart disease of non-ischemic etiology, hypertension, renal dysfunction, thrombophlebitis, otosclerosis, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, mental illness accompanied by depression, chorea minor, intermittent porphyria, latent tetany, bronchial asthma. While taking the drug, medical supervision is required at least every 6 months. After viral hepatitis, the use of oral contraception is allowed no earlier than 6 months, provided that liver functions are normalized. Against the background of long-term (more than 8 years) continuous use of sex hormones, benign liver tumors were very rarely observed, and malignant tumors of the liver were extremely rare. If sharp pain appears in the upper abdomen, hepatomegaly and signs of intra-abdominal hemorrhage, a suspicion of a liver tumor may arise. In this case, the drug should be stopped until the cause is determined. If liver function is impaired while taking the drug, it is necessary to monitor the condition with a therapist every 2-3 months. In the absence of menstrual-like bleeding, continued use is allowed only after pregnancy has been ruled out. If intermenstrual bleeding occurs (rare due to the high estrogen content), especially in the first 2-3 months, you should continue taking Ovidon, since in most cases these bleeding stops spontaneously. If intermenstrual bleeding does not disappear or recurs, a medical examination is required to exclude pathology of the internal organs. In case of vomiting or diarrhea, taking the pills should be continued, but it is recommended to additionally use another, mechanical method of contraception. Among women taking oral contraceptives containing estrogens, the likelihood of developing thromboembolism of various locations may increase. This risk increases with age, mainly in smokers. In this regard, women over 30 years of age who are taking oral contraceptives are advised to completely stop smoking. If a woman is planning a pregnancy, the drug must be stopped at least three months before the expected date of conception.
You should stop taking Ovidon immediately:

in case of new or worsening migraine-like, unusually severe headache, sudden loss of consciousness, acute deterioration of vision, suspected thrombosis or cerebral infarction, sudden pain in the legs, especially the calf muscles;
with a sharp increase in arterial pressure, with the development of jaundice or hepatitis without jaundice, with the occurrence of generalized itching, with the occurrence or increase in epileptic seizures;
during a planned operation (6 weeks before surgery), during prolonged immobilization (for example, after injuries).
