Gynecological Products

Our wide range of contraceptives and products for hormone replacement therapy help women in different stages of their life from fertility to menopause. Our portfolio includes several modern oral contraceptives, the hormonal intrauterine system, contraceptive implant and numerous products for hormone therapy in menopause.

Long-term contraceptives are easy to use after insertion and provide reliable protection against unwanted pregnancy. These methods are suitable for women who require long-term (several years) contraception. Moreover, the hormonal intrauterine system can be used in the treatment of heavy periods and with estrogen replacement therapy for menopausal symptoms. The long-term contraceptives of Bayer Schering Pharma can be used for 5 years.

Oral contraceptives or pills are the most popular and widely-used contraceptive method in Finland and elsewhere in Europe. Oral contraceptives are popular due to their reliability, several health benefits and very few adverse effects. They are divided into combination pills and minipills.

Oral contraceptives contain different amounts of estrogen and progestins. Depending on which progestin they contain, oral contraceptives can relieve the symptoms of PMS (premenstrual syndrome), have positive effect on skin and hair and help with irregular periods. Some oral contraceptives cause slight increase in blood pressure and some have a neutral effect. Bayer Schering Pharma offers a wide range of contraceptive products from which everyone can choose the method that best suits them.

Menopause is a natural phase in every woman's life. During menopause most women experience unpleasant symptoms that are caused by loss of estrogen.

Our estrogen replacement tablet preparation is a classical standard in Finland. The beneficial effects of our newest estrogen-progestin hormone replacement therapy preparation are based on the progestin used in our newest oral contraceptives.
