A New Oral Contraceptive Providing The Same Estrogen Produced By The Female Body

October 16, 2008 - Bayer Schering Pharma AG has successfully completed the decentralized drug approval procedure in Europe for its new oral contraceptive Qlaira® (dienogest/estradiol valerate). Qlaira® is an oral contraceptive whose estrogen component is based on estradiol, the same estrogen that is produced by the female body. For the first time, the use of estradiol in oral contraceptives is made possible with Qlaira® through the combination of estradiol with the progestin dienogest in a unique dosing regimen. With Qlaira®, Bayer Schering Pharma offers women a new choice of estrogen and establishes a new class of oral contraceptives.
