How To Beat Addiction

Description

Mestranol is the 3-methyl ether of ethinylestradiol. It was the estrogen used in many of the first oral contraceptives.

It is a biologically inactive prodrug of ethinylestradiol to which it is demethylated in the liver with a conversion efficiency of 70% (50 ug of mestranol is pharmacokinetically bioequivalent to 35 ug of ethinylestradiol).[1]
