Nestorone is a potent progesterone receptor agonist with no androgenic, estrogenic, or glucocorticoid-like activities.
Nestorone is a potent progesterone receptor agonist with no androgenic, estrogenic, or glucocorticoid-like activities. Nestorone has been used as a female contraceptive, and recent studies inidicate that it may be useful as a male contraceptive as well. It has also been shown to have neurogenic and neuroprotective activity.

A 2-year trial of a single Nestorone (NES) rod implant was conducted at three Latin American centers, each enrolling 100 women. We studied the safety, effectiveness and acceptability of this progestin-releasing contraceptive implant. Three pregnancies occurred, the last at 18

Testosterone (T) plus progestin combinations are the most promising hormonal male contraceptives. Nestorone (NES), a progestin without estrogenic or androgenic activity, when combined with T may be an excellent candidate for male contraception. Our objective was to determine the effect
We examined the clinical performance of contraceptive vaginal rings (rings) delivering Nestorone (NES) progestin and ethinyl estradiol (EE). Ring removal times were signaled by menstrual events. Bleeding patterns, adverse events, patterns of use and continuation rates were the principal parameters

The progestins have different pharmacologic properties depending upon the parent molecule, usually testosterone or progesterone (P), from which they are derived. Very small structural changes in the parent molecule may induce considerable differences in the activity of the derivative. In
The implant containing Nestorone is a promising long-acting contraceptive especially suitable for lactating women. In this study, two experiments were designed to observe the effect of Nestorone on the gonadotropic cells in pituitary of rats for analyzing its antiovulation mechanism.
