COX-2 Inhibitors to Increase Effectiveness of Emergency Contraception
Manage episode 379254284 series 2931422
Emergency contraception use has an effectiveness of about 70%. Join host, Geoff Wall, as he reviews new literature to see if COX-2 inhibition improves that rate.
The GameChanger
Emergency contraception (EC) is safe and effective but overall efficacy rates could be better. COX-2 inhibitors may enhance the effectiveness of EC but require multiday dosing.
