Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Term
Definition
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs)   active in some tissue and block estrogen receptors selectively in others, provide benefits of estrogens w/o side effects  
🗑
Tamoxifen   blocks some ERs adn activates others, used for breast CA, inhibits cell growth in the breast, protect against osteoporosis  
🗑
Tamoxifen side effects   hot flashes, increase risk for endometrial CA and thromboembolism  
🗑
Raloxifene   similar to tamoxifen but does not activate estrogen, protects against breast CA and osteroporosis and promotes thromboembolism and hot flashes  
🗑
Duavee (conjugated estrogens/bazedoxifene)   bazedoxifene component reduces risk of excessive growth of uterine lining, decreased risk for endometrial CA  
🗑
Progestin Adverse Effects   teratogenic effects, gynecologic effects, breast CA, depression, breast tenderness, bloating  
🗑
Progestin uses   postmenopausal HRT, dysfunctional uterine bleeding, amenorrhea, infertility, prematurity prevention, endometiral CA and hyperplasia  
🗑

🗑
Menopausal Hormone Therapy (MHT) risks   MI, stroke, PE, DVT, endometrial CA, breast CA, Ovarian CA, gallbladder disease, dementia, urinary incontinence  
🗑
Estrogen & Progestin therapy   inhibits ovulation by suppressing release of FSH and LH, thickens cervical mucous and alter endometrium making conditions unfavorable for implantation  
🗑
Monophasic OC   dose of hormones remain constant  
🗑

🗑
Effects of Progestin-only OCs   do not cause thromboemoblic disorders, HA, nausea, safer than combo therapy, less-effective, may cause irregular bleeding  
🗑
Estrogen preparations   Ethinyl estradiol, mestranol and estradiol valerate  
🗑
Drospireone   progestin that antiandrogen action  
🗑
Levonorgestrel & Norgestrel   progestins that have greater androgenic effects  
🗑
Leveonorgestrel   progestin only emergency contraceptive, taken w/in 72hrs, act before fertilization and implantation to delay or stop ovulation  
🗑
Ullipristal Acetate (Ella)   emergency contraceptive works by preventing conception by suppressing ovulation, remains effective up to 5 days  
🗑
Mifepristone (Ru 486) w/misoprostol   used for medical abortion, blocks uterine progesterone receptors, utltimately results in expulsion of conceptus

🗑
Mifepristone (Ru 486) w/misoprostol Contraindications   ectopic pregnancy, hemorrhagic disorder, use of anticoagulant drugs, and adrenal insufficiency  
🗑
Prostaglandins   act like local hormones and cause uterine stimulation and cervical softening
