The system, to be established by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the North American Securities Administrators Association (NASAA)(1), will be based on technology used in the new Web-based Central Registration Depository (CRD) coming on line later this month.
Minivelle is currently the smallest estrogen patch available at 2.48cm 2 per patch (about 34% smaller than Vivelle-Dot). Minivelle contains bioidentical estradiol, a plant-based estrogen that is chemically identical to the estrogen produced naturally by a woman's body.
The minipill, also known as the progestin-only birth control pill, is an oral contraceptive that contains the hormone progestin. Unlike combination birth control pills, the minipill doesn't contain estrogen. The progestin dose in a minipill is lower than the progestin dose in a combination oral contraceptive pill. The minipill thickens cervical mucus and thins the lining of the uterus (endometrium) â preventing sperm from reaching the egg.
