PO Box 11126, Paisley, PA2 8YB, Tel: 0844 412 0995, [email protected], www.breastfeedingnetwork.org.uk The Breastfeeding Network is a Company Limited by Guarantee Registered in Scotland Company No. 330639 Registered office Whitelaw Wells, 9 Ainslie Place, Edinburgh, EH3 6AT The Breastfeeding Network is a Registered Scottish Charity No SC027007 Who writes the fact sheets? My name is Wendy Jones and I am a qualified pharmacist as well as Registered Breastfeeding Network Supporter and Tutor. Over the last 20 years I have developed a passion for providing evidence based information to enable mothers and healthcare professionals to make decisions on the relative safety of drugs taken by breastfeeding mothers and passing through breastmilk to babies. I am a mother to 3 grown up daughters and grandmother to 3 grandchildren - all breastfed, not without their own challenges. Qualifications and experience I began working on the subject of drugs in breastmilk in July 1995 by extending some information compiled by NCT and writing what become known as the Drugs in Breastmilk Compendium. In the same year I began research which led to a PhD with the title “Community Pharmacy Support for Breastfeeding Women Requiring Medication”. It involved surveying 1000 mothers (NCT mothers), 1000 pharmacists and 1000 GP s in a matched area to ascertain their attitudes and experiences around the use of drugs in lactation. I also followed 100 women from the day they delivered until they stopped breastfeeding looking monthly at their experiences of buying and being prescribed medication. I was awarded my PhD in 2000 by the University of Portsmouth. In my working life I have always worked in Community Pharmacy (in fact I was born over a branch of Boots of which my father was manager). I have largely worked as a locum since the birth of my children but was also manager of a pharmacy in the village where I live across the period of my research. I have also worked as a practice support pharmacist in GP surgeries in Portsmouth and SE Hampshire. I am an independent prescriber and have run clinics on primary prevention of coronary heart disease including smoking cessation, weight management as well as prescribing medication to control hypertension and raised cholesterol. I had dreams of running a breastfeeding surgery but it never came to fruition. I gave up work 3 years ago to finish a book and develop my own website and Facebook page. In 2013 I was very proud to have a book published by Routledge “Breastfeeding and Medication”. I hoped this would provide an easily accessible reference source for doctors and pharmacists in particular. How to use the Drugs in Breastmilk factsheets Our small team answer over 7000 queries a year - via the telephone, email and increasingly social media - so we have tried to provide more and more information on frequently asked questions via our factsheets. These factsheets are available online for mothers (and relatives) and healthcare professionals to read and freely download and they are all included here in printed form. If you have a question about the use of medications, medical treatments or other common products whilst you are breastfeeding please have a look here or on our website in the first instance to see if the question you have is already answered in one of our many factsheets. www.breastfeedingnetwork.org.uk/ If you have a query not covered in the factsheets or you need more in depth or personalised information about multiple medications or a specific scenario you can get in touch by ringing 0844 412 4665 (you may need to leave a message) or if you can, please email via the website to [email protected].

  • F.8 Ethinylestradiol-Etonogestrel.Pdf
    General Items 1. Summary statement of the proposal for inclusion, change or deletion. Here within, please find the evidence to support the inclusion Ethinylestradiol/Etonogestrel Vaginal Ring in the World Health Organization’s Essential Medicines List (EML). Unintended pregnancy is regarded as a serious public health issue both in developed and developing countries and has received growing research and policy attention during last few decades (1). It is a major global concern due to its association with adverse physical, mental, social and economic outcomes. Developing countries account for approximately 99% of the global maternal deaths in 2015, with sub-Saharan Africa alone accounting for roughly 66% (2). Even though the incidence of unintended pregnancy has declined globally in the past decade, the rate of unintended pregnancy remains high, particularly in developing regions. (3) Regarding the use of contraceptive vaginal rings, updated bibliography (4,5,6) states that contraceptive vaginal rings (CVR) offer an effective contraceptive option, expanding the available choices of hormonal contraception. Ethinylestradiol/Etonogestrel Vaginal Ring is a non-biodegradable, flexible, transparent with an outer diameter of 54 mm and a cross-sectional diameter of 4 mm. It contains 11.7 mg etonogestrel and 2.7 mg ethinyl estradiol. When placed in the vagina, each ring releases on average 0.120 mg/day of etonogestrel and 0.015 mg/day of ethinyl estradiol over a three-week period of use. Ethinylestradiol/Etonogestrel Vaginal Ring is intended for women of fertile age. The safety and efficacy have been established in women aged 18 to 40 years. The main advantages of CVRs are their effectiveness (similar or slightly better than the pill), ease of use without the need of remembering a daily routine, user ability to control initiation and discontinuation, nearly constant release rate allowing for lower doses, greater bioavailability and good cycle control with the combined ring, in comparison with oral contraceptives.

Abstract: While contraceptive drugs have enabled many people to decide when they want to have a baby, more than 100 million unintended pregnancies each year in the world may indicate the contraceptive requirement of many people has not been well addressed yet. The vagina is a well- established and practical route for the delivery of various pharmacological molecules, including contraceptives. This review aims to present an overview of different contraceptive methods focusing on the vaginal route of delivery for contraceptives, including current developments, discussing the potentials and limitations of the modern methods, designs, and how well each method performs for delivering the contraceptives and preventing pregnancy.
