Oral contraceptives monophasic preparations

High-dose monophasic preparations are indicated for the management of dysfunctional uterine bleedings and when persistent breakthrough bleedings occur with low-dose oral contraceptives. The monophasic combinations are taken in a fixed dose combination once daily over 21 or 22 days, followed by an interval of 7 or 6 days. 

The oral contraceptives are of two main types the combined hormonal contraceptives containing both an oestrogen and a progestogen (monophasic, biphasie, triphasie, or sequential), available as tablets or a patch, and the progestogen-only contraceptives, which are available as tablets (sometimes ealled mini pills), parenteral preparations (implants, depot injections) and intrauterine devices.
