What is Emoquette

Ethinylestradiol

The Generic name of this drug

Treatment Summary

Ethinylestradiol is an estrogen-based medication that was first synthesized in 1938. It was developed to be more easily absorbed when taken orally, leading to its use in contraceptive pills. This medication was approved by the FDA in 1943 and is still used today in many birth control products.

Effectiveness

How Emoquette Affects Patients

Ethinylestradiol is a type of synthetic hormone used to prevent ovulation. It is taken once per day and is considered to be a safe drug, although patients should be aware of the risks associated with blood clots.

How Emoquette works in the body

Ethinylestradiol is a synthetic form of estrogen. It is commonly used in combined oral contraceptives to stop ovulation, thicken cervical mucus to block sperm, and stop changes in the endometrium that are required for pregnancy. Ethinylestradiol also decreases luteinizing hormone and increases sex hormone binding globulin. All of these effects work together to prevent pregnancy.

When to interrupt dosage

The proposed dosage of Emoquette is contingent upon the diagnosed condition, such as Acne Vulgaris, Hormonal Contraception and Folate supplementation therapy. The magnitude of dosage is contingent upon the method of administration outlined in the table hereunder.

This pill is definitely one you would need if you were going to have sex without condoms. It's worked well for me in the past, and I'm always grateful to have it on hand just in case.

Emoquette for Birth Control

I switched to this because I was experiencing hair loss. My tests came back normal, but my doctor and I decided to try a pill with a lower androgen index. So far, I've been really pleased! My breasts don't hurt like they did on the last pill, and I've noticed less hair shedding.

Emoquette for Acne

After trying out a few different options, I finally landed on this pill when my previous birth control was recalled. Gildess Fe 1/20 had been working well for my acne, weight, and moods--and while this new pill also helped to clear up my hormonal acne after a few months, I'm still left with frequent breakouts. In addition, I've noticed some serious changes in my mood which have included decreased sex drive, anxiety, and depression. Here's hoping that it's just a phase!

Emoquette for Acne

I've been using this birth control for acne and it's really not working well for me. I'm only 20, but I've already started experiencing abdominal pain, cystic bumps, hot flashes, and an increase in bra size. I'll be done with this pack soon and switching to a different brand that I used when I was 17.

I had a whole host of problems while taking this pill, including but not limited to: headaches, lightheadedness, dizziness, nausea, shortness of breath, rapid heart rate, fatigue, and extreme mood swings. I took it for five months in the hopes that it would improve with time but sadly saw no such change.

I had to stop taking this medication after only a short time because it resulted in a bilateral pulmonary embolism. This was caused by blood clots that formed in both of my lungs and could have killed me if I hadn't gotten treatment right away.

Emoquette for Birth Control

I switched from Aviane to emoquette in order to better control my moods, and it has done the complete opposite. I have felt extremely nauseous and have even thrown up multiple times. My breasts are extremely tender and I have gone up a full cup size in bras. My mood swings are only getting worse and it has made me feel very depressed and anxious. I will be switching off of this medicine immediately

Emoquette for Birth Control

I had such awful stomach pain while taking Emoquette. I was originally on Desogen, then switched to Apri, and finally landed on Emoquette. After trying Emoquette for a few months in the hopes that the pain would eventually subside, I stopped taking it. Emoquette and Desogen are not comparable at all! Do not bother with this pill if you value your comfort.

Emoquette for Acne

Do not recommend. I went on this birth control pill (Emoquette) for my cystic acne per my doctor's suggestion. Immediately after starting the pill, my acne got worse--more painful and red than ever. After a few months, there was no improvement.

Patient Q&A Section about emoquette

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

What is Emoquette generic for?

"Emoquette is a generic birth control pill that uses ethinyl estradiol and desogestrel (both naturally occurring hormones) to prevent ovulation and change the way the cervix and uterus lining affects sperm travel and fertilized egg implantation."

Answered by AI

What hormones are in Emoquette?

"Emoquette is a birth control pill that contains two hormones: desogestrel and ethinyl estradiol. These hormones work together to prevent pregnancy by stopping ovulation and by altering the cervical mucus and the lining of the uterus. This makes it harder for sperm to enter the uterus and fertilize an egg."

Answered by AI

How much is Emoquette cost?

"Emoquette's retail price is significantly reduced from $31.04 to $4.43 with a SingleCare Emoquette coupon."

Answered by AI

What type of birth control is Emoquette?

"- Emoquette is a birth control pill that contains female hormones that prevent ovulation. It also causes changes in your cervical mucus and uterine lining, making it harder for sperm to reach the uterus and harder for a fertilized egg to attach to the uterus."

Lidocaine for Pain Control in Birth Control

18 - 50
Female
La Jolla, CA

The goal of this research study is to learn more about how different uses of a numbing medication might affect pain levels while getting an IUD placed. The investigators are also studying participants opinions of their clinicians' empathy. The investigators are inviting patients who arrive at their clinic visit seeking an IUD. Usually, at University of California, San Diego (UCSD), for patients who have never delivered a baby, clinicians use a buffered paracervical block for before IUD placement. The purpose of this research study is to investigate whether a "buffered" (2 cc of sodium bicarbonate, 18 cc of 1% lidocaine) paracervical block (numbing medication given on both sides of the cervix) is effective in reducing pain during IUD placement in individuals with prior C-sections, the difference between buffered and unbuffered for nulliparous patients, and whether a medicated gel reduces pain with the paracervical block.

Del Mar, CA

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if use of the HAPPI software can improve pharmacist-provided birth control services. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does the HAPPI software make it easier for pharmacists to provide birth control services in their pharmacy? 2. Does the HAPPI software make it easier for patients to access birth control? Researchers will compare pharmacists' implementation and patients' access when using the HAPPI software and when not using the HAPPI software to see if the software improves implementation and access. Participants will include pharmacists and patients. Pharmacists will be asked to provide birth control services as normal while using the HAPPI software. Patients will be asked to receive birth control services from a pharmacist as normal, while using the HAPPI software.

Birth Control Pills and DNA Interaction

18 - 45
Female
Aurora, CO

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate how differences in specific parts of our DNA can influence how individual bodies break down the hormones contained within oral contraceptive pills, which could affect how well these birth control pills work to prevent pregnancy. The investigators are also interested in exploring how these differences in our DNA can also explain why patients taking the exact same formulation of birth control pill will experience very different side effects. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Do individuals with the CYP3A7\*1C variant have increased metabolism of both desogestrel and ethinyl estradiol when taking a combined oral contraceptive pill? * Do individuals with the CYP3A7\*1C variant experience higher rates of breakthrough ovulation while taking a desogestrel/ethinyl estradiol combined oral contraceptive pill? * What novel genetic loci are associated with alterations in steroid hormone pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics among a larger cohort of combined oral contraceptive pill users? Participants will take a specific formulation of combined oral contraceptive pill (desogestrel/ethinyl estradiol) and undergo the following procedures: * Blood draw to measure the amount of progestin and estrogen in their system from the combined oral contraceptive pill * Questionnaires to assess side effects possibly caused by the combined oral contraceptive pill * Blood draw to measure endogenous hormone levels and biomarkers that may be affected by the combined oral contraceptive pill * A transvaginal ultrasound to measure any ovarian follicles (optional procedure)

The study aims to implement Using the Connect (UTC), an innovative, game-based intervention designed to increase protective factors and decrease adolescent pregnancies. This intervention will be implemented in Texas middle schools and community-based organizations. The long-term goal is to promote optimal health in youth and prevent adolescent pregnancy in populations disproportionately impacted by adolescent pregnancy and sexually transmitted infection (STI) rates. The short-term objective is to conduct a robust, multi-site clustered randomized controlled trial to evaluate implementation outcomes and the impact of UTC, a novel theory-based game developed using powerful and effective human-centered design (HCD) strategies, on intention to delay sexual activity.

Progestin Contraceptives for Birth Control Effects

18 - 40
Female
Portland, OR

The purpose of the study is to learn more about menstrual changes in progestin contraception users. The investigators are hoping to find out what changes in the endometrium lead to different bleeding patterns during the first year of progestin contraception use. Participants will choose to receive the contraceptive implant (Etonogestrel implant also called Nexplanon) or the contraceptive injectable (Depo-medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA) also called Depo-Provera) for up to 12 months. They will be asked to have 4 endometrial biopsies over the course of the study, as well as blood draws, physical exams, and pregnancy tests. Participants will also use a daily text message or email diary to report bleeding patterns. This study's plan is to comprehensively phenotype bleeding patterns and profile the entire endometrium using single-cell RNA seq data (sCRNAseq).

Etonogestrel Implant for Emergency Birth Control

18 - 40
Female
Aurora, CO

The investigators propose a single site, single arm, open label mechanism of action pharmacodynamic pilot study of etonogestrel implant insertion prior to an luteinizing hormone (LH) surge. The investigators will evaluate ovulation rates via serum levels of reproductive hormones and transvaginal ultrasound findings following placement of an etonogestrel implant once the dominant follicle reaches a size of 15mm or greater, but prior to an LH surge, in persons with prior documented regular cycles and confirmed ovulation. The researchers' hypothesis is that ovulation will be inhibited if the etonogestrel implant is placed prior to an LH surge. Based on data from the Food and Drug Administration label for Nexplanon, etonogestrel rises to levels associated with ovulation suppression within 8 hours of placement. Given this rapid increase, it is therefore plausible to assume that ovulation can be inhibited by the implant if placed prior to an LH surge. This study is novel as there have been no published studies evaluating an etonogestrel implant for this indication. The contribution of this proposed research to the literature is significant because current recommendations from the Center for Disease Control (CDC) regarding timing of etonogestrel implant placement are stringent and not patient-centered. Any day insertion of the etonogestrel implant is supported by retrospective data and this pharmacodynamic data would further support the literature for any day insertion without the need for additional emergency contraception. If results support the investigators' hypothesis, it could increase access to contraception and decrease duplicative therapy.
