Norethisterone and ethinyloestradiol concentrations in sewage effluent, reservoirs, rivers and potable water have been estimated at less than 20 ng L-1, a value unlikely to present a significant risk to human health.
45 patients with prostatic cancer were treated conservatively with Turisteron at a dosage of 2 mg per week. After 2 months the serum levels of total testosterone were reduced to castration values and thereafter furthermore to 6% of the pretreatment values. The free testosterone (FT) serum level did show a decrease to 2%, while the binding capacity of the sexual hormone binding globulin (SHBG) was increased from 4,1% to 97,9%. The serum levels of the two gonadotropic hormones luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) were decreased only to nearly 20% of the pretreatment value. The investigations confirm the definite "antiandrogenic" effect of Turisteron, which is 10-times higher than the antigonadotropic effect.
A simple and direct method for the determination of ethinyloestradiol as a minor component in the presence of norethisterone and in oral contraceptive tablets is presented. The method is based on measuring the signal intensity, d delta A/d lambda and d2 delta A/d lambda 2, of the generated first and second derivative spectra of the delta-absorbance curves obtained by measuring solutions in methanol and methanol-sodium hydroxide at certain wavelengths. The method has been applied to the determination of ethinyloestradiol in oral contraceptive tablets, with a coefficient of variation of less than 2%.
