Zoely™: a novel combined oral contraceptive containing nomegestrol contraceptive containing nomegestrol

Combined oral contraceptives containing oestradiol, in place of ethinylestradiol, have been developed over the past few years. 1 Recently, an oestradiol pill has become available which contains oestradiol valerate, in combination with the progestogen, dienogest, in a four-phase, 26-day pill regimen. 1 Zoely™ is the first monophasic combined oral contraceptive which contains oestradiol in a 24-day pill regimen. 1
