How does the NuvaRing ring work, and is this contraceptive effective?


pharmachologic effect

Hormonal contraceptive drug.

Etonogestrel is a progestogen that binds to progesterone receptors in target organs.

Ethinyl estradiol is an estrogen. The effect of the drug is ensured by a combination of various mechanisms, the most significant of which is the suppression of ovulation.

The use of the drug regulates the menstrual cycle, reducing pain during menstrual-like bleeding and its intensity. This reduces the likelihood of developing iron deficiency anemia .

The use of the drug reduces the risk of ovarian and endometrial cancer, the development of ovarian cysts , ectopic pregnancy , inflammation of the female reproductive system and benign pathologies of the mammary glands.

How the ring works and its mechanism of action

The Nuvaring contraceptive ring is a thin translucent ring with a diameter of approximately 6 cm. It is a flexible elastic ring made of a special synthetic material widely used for the production of various medical implants. The material is quite hypoallergenic, so allergies to the contraceptive ring are a very rare occurrence.

Inside the ring there is a medicinal substance - ethinyl estradiol and etonogestrel. These are hormonal substances that are released daily from the pores of the material in quantities strictly stated by the manufacturer and enter the bloodstream through the rich vascular network of the vagina.

This mechanism is similar to taking a birth control pill every day, only the medicine is absorbed into the bloodstream not through the gastrointestinal tract, but through the vagina.

The hormones in the ring have the following contraceptive effects:

Contraceptive ring packaging

  1. Suppresses ovulation processes in the ovaries.
  2. They prevent the growth of the endometrium, thereby preventing implantation of the embryo.
  3. They create an artificially simulated hormonal background.
  4. They thicken the mucus in the cervical canal and prevent sperm from penetrating into the uterine cavity and tubes.

All these effects are absolutely reversible. By stopping hormonal pills or stopping using the ring, a woman can easily become pregnant within 1-3 cycles.

Pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics

Etonogestrel is absorbed through the vaginal mucosa and its maximum concentration is reached after approximately 7 days. Bioavailability is about 100%, which is higher than with oral etonogestrel. The substance is metabolized in the liver and excreted in urine and bile. The half-life of metabolites is 6 days.

Ethinyl estradiol also penetrates the vaginal mucosa into the blood. The maximum concentration is reached after 3 days. Bioavailability is approximately 56% and is comparable to oral administration. Metabolized in urine and bile, the half-life is about 36 hours.

Use during pregnancy and breastfeeding

Nuvaring is designed to protect the female body from unwanted pregnancy.
If you want to get pregnant, women are advised to first wait until the natural menstrual cycle is restored, then start calculating the possible date of conception and birth.

The drug should not be used once pregnancy occurs, as soon as it is known.

In this condition, it is important to stop contraception in a timely manner, despite the absence of cases of detecting defects in newborns.

Nuvaring is administered topically, into the vagina, and is considered a safe drug, but it is not advisable to use it while breastfeeding. The active ingredients will negatively affect lactation and reduce the production of breast milk.

It is known that metabolites and steroids are excreted in breast milk, although a negative impact on the health of children has not been proven.

NuvaRing®

If any of the following conditions/diseases or risk factors are present, a thorough assessment of the benefit-risk ratio of using the drug NuvaRing® should be carried out and discussed with the woman before starting to use the drug. In case of exacerbation of diseases, deterioration of the condition or the appearance of the first symptoms of conditions/diseases or risk factors, the woman should immediately consult a doctor to decide whether to discontinue or the possibility of further use of the drug.

Risk of developing VTE and ATE

The use of any combined hormonal contraceptives (CHCs) is associated with an increased risk of developing venous and arterial thrombosis and thromboembolism (such as DVT and PE, myocardial infarction, cerebrovascular disorders). These diseases are rare. The use of drugs containing levonorgestrel, norgestimate or norethisterone as a progestogen component has the lowest risk of developing VTE.

The use of other medications, such as NuvaRing®, can double the risk of developing this complication. An increased risk is present after initial use of CHCs or resumption of use after a break of 4 weeks or more. The choice in favor of a CHC with a higher risk of developing VTE can only be made after consultation with the woman to ensure that she fully understands the risk of VTE associated with the use of NuvaRing®; the effect of the drug on her existing risk factors and that the risk of developing VTE is greatest in the first year of using the drug.

VTE can be life-threatening or lead to death (in 1-2% of cases).

Thrombosis of other blood vessels, for example, hepatic, mesenteric, renal, cerebral veins and arteries or retinal vessels, has occurred extremely rarely with the use of CGCs.

Symptoms of deep vein thrombosis (DVT):

unilateral swelling of the lower limb or along the vein, pain or discomfort only in an upright position or when walking, local increase in temperature, redness or discoloration of the skin in the affected lower limb.

Symptoms of pulmonary embolism (PE)

: difficulty or rapid breathing; sudden cough, including with hemoptysis; sharp pain in the chest, which may intensify with deep inspiration; sense of anxiety; severe dizziness; fast or irregular heartbeat. Some of these symptoms (eg, shortness of breath, cough) are nonspecific and may be misinterpreted as signs of other more common and less severe conditions (eg, respiratory tract infection).

ATE can lead to stroke, vascular occlusion, or myocardial infarction.

Symptoms of a stroke:

sudden weakness or loss of sensation in the face, limbs, especially on one side of the body, sudden confusion, severe or prolonged headache for no apparent reason, unilateral or bilateral loss of vision; problems with speech and understanding; sudden disturbance in gait, dizziness, loss of balance or coordination; sudden loss of consciousness or fainting with or without a seizure.

Other signs of vascular occlusion

: sudden pain, swelling and slight cyanosis of the extremities, “acute” abdomen.

Symptoms of myocardial infarction:

pain, discomfort, pressure, heaviness, a feeling of compression or fullness in the chest or behind the sternum, radiating to the back, jaw, upper limb, epigastric region; cold sweat, nausea, vomiting or dizziness, severe weakness, anxiety or shortness of breath; fast or irregular heartbeat.

ATE can be life-threatening and lead to death.

In women with a combination of several risk factors or high severity of one of them, the possibility of their mutual reinforcement should be considered. In such cases, the degree of increase in risk may be higher than with a simple summation of factors. In this case, the use of NovaRing® is contraindicated.

The risk of developing thrombosis (venous and/or arterial) and thromboembolism or cerebrovascular disorders increases:

- with age;

- in women who smoke (with an increase in the number of cigarettes or an increase in age, the risk increases, especially over the age of 35);

- if there is a family history (for example, venous or arterial thromboembolism in close relatives or parents under the age of 50 years). In the case of a hereditary or acquired predisposition, the woman should be examined by an appropriate specialist to decide on the possibility of using CHC;

— for obesity (UTI more than 30 kg/m2);

- with dislipoproteinemia;

- for arterial hypertension;

- for migraine;

- for diseases of the heart valves;

- with atrial fibrillation;

- in case of prolonged immobilization, major surgery, any operation on the lower extremities or major trauma. In these cases, the use of CHCs should be discontinued (in the case of planned surgery, at least four weeks before it) and not resumed for two weeks after the end of immobilization. Temporary immobilization (eg, air travel lasting more than 4 hours) may also be a risk factor for the development of VTE, especially in the presence of other risk factors.

The possible role of varicose veins and superficial thrombophlebitis in the development of VTE remains controversial.

The increased risk of thromboembolism in the postpartum period should be taken into account.

Peripheral circulatory disorders may also occur in diabetes mellitus, systemic lupus erythematosus, hemolytic uremic syndrome, chronic inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis) and sickle cell anemia.

An increase in the frequency or severity of migraine (which may also precede cerebrovascular events) during the use of CHCs is grounds for immediate discontinuation of these drugs.

Biochemical indicators indicating a hereditary or acquired predisposition to the development of venous or arterial thrombosis include: resistance to activated protein C, hyperhomocysteinemia, antithrombin III deficiency, protein C deficiency, protein S deficiency, antiphospholipid antibodies (anticardiolipin antibodies, lupus anticoagulant).

The risk of thrombosis and thromboembolism during pregnancy and the postpartum period is higher than when taking low-dose CHCs (containing less than 0.05 mg ethinyl estradiol).

If VTE or ATE is suspected or confirmed, use of the drug should be stopped immediately. In this case, it is necessary to use effective contraception, since anticoagulants (coumarins) have a teratogenic effect.

Risk of developing tumors

The most important risk factor for developing cervical cancer is infection with the human papillomavirus (HPV). Epidemiological studies have shown that long-term use of COCs leads to an additional increase in this risk, but it is unclear how much of this is due to other factors, such as increased frequency of cervical screening and sexual behavior, including the number of sexual partners and less frequent use of barrier contraceptives. and their cause-and-effect relationship. Epidemiological data regarding the incidence of cervical cancer in women using the drug NuvaRing®

There are no data from epidemiological studies regarding the risk of developing cervical cancer in women using the drug NuvaRing®.

A meta-analysis of the results of 54 epidemiological studies found a small increase (1.24) in the relative risk of developing breast cancer in women taking COCs. The risk gradually decreases over 10 years after stopping the drugs. Breast cancer rarely develops in women under 40 years of age, so the additional incidence of breast cancer in women who take or have taken COCs is small compared to the overall risk of developing breast cancer. Women who use COCs are diagnosed with earlier clinical stages of breast cancer than women who have never used COCs. The observed increased risk may be due to earlier diagnosis of breast cancer in women taking COCs, the biological effects of COCs, or a combination of both.

In rare cases, cases of development of benign, and even more rarely, malignant liver tumors have been observed in women taking COCs. In some cases, these tumors led to the development of life-threatening bleeding into the abdominal cavity. The doctor should consider the possibility of a liver tumor in the differential diagnosis of diseases in a woman taking NuvaRing® if symptoms include acute pain in the upper abdomen, liver enlargement, or signs of intra-abdominal bleeding.

Hypersensitivity reactions

Hypersensitivity reactions, such as angioedema and anaphylaxis, have been observed during use of the drug NovaRing®. If you suspect angioedema and/or anaphylaxis, you should stop using the drug NuvaRing® and carry out appropriate treatment.

Hepatitis C

In clinical trials of the drug combination for the treatment of hepatitis C virus ombitasvir/paritaprevir/ritonavir with or without dasabuvir, increases in ALT levels greater than 5 times the upper limit of normal were observed significantly more often in women using drugs containing ethinyl estradiol, such as COOK. The use of NovaRing® should be discontinued before starting therapy with the combination of ombitasvir/paritaprevir/ritonavir with or without dasabuvir (see section “Contraindications” and “Interaction with other drugs”). The use of NuvaRing® can be resumed approximately 2 weeks after completion of treatment with the combination of these drugs.

Other states

- In women with hypertriglyceridemia (or a family history of this condition), the risk of developing pancreatitis may increase while using CHCs.

- Although slight increases in blood pressure (BP) have been described in many women using COCs, clinically significant increases in BP have been reported rarely. However, if a persistent clinically significant increase in blood pressure develops while using the drug NuvaRing®, the use of the drug should be stopped and treatment of arterial hypertension should be started. If normal blood pressure values ​​are achieved with the help of antihypertensive therapy, use of the drug NuvaRing® can be continued.

- The following conditions have been reported to develop or worsen during pregnancy and when taking CHCs, but their relationship with the use of CHCs has not been proven: cholestatic jaundice and/or pruritus associated with cholestasis; formation of gallstones; porphyria; systemic lupus erythematosus; hemolytic-uremic syndrome; chorea; herpes during pregnancy; hearing loss associated with otosclerosis. Cases of Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis have also been described with the use of CHCs.

— In women with hereditary forms of angioedema, exogenous estrogens may cause or worsen symptoms of angioedema.

— Acute or chronic liver diseases may require discontinuation of the drug NuvaRing® until liver function tests return to normal.

— Recurrence of cholestatic jaundice and/or itching caused by cholestasis, which first developed during pregnancy or previous use of sex hormones, requires discontinuation of the drug NuvaRing®.

- Although estrogens and progestogens can affect insulin resistance and glucose tolerance, in patients with diabetes mellitus using low-dose CHCs, as a rule, no dose adjustment of hypoglycemic drugs is required. However, patients with diabetes mellitus should be carefully monitored while using NuvaRing®.

- Chloasma can sometimes develop, especially in women with a history of chloasma during pregnancy. Women with a tendency to chloasma should avoid prolonged exposure to the sun and ultraviolet irradiation while using NuvaRing®.

— Conditions of a woman in which she will not be able to insert the ring correctly or in which the ring may fall out: cervical prolapse, bladder hernia and/or rectal hernia, severe chronic constipation.

— In very rare cases, women have unintentionally inserted the NuvaRing® vaginal ring into the urethra and possibly into the bladder. When symptoms of cystitis appear, it is necessary to consider the possibility of incorrect insertion of the ring.

— Cases of vaginitis have been described during the use of the drug NuvaRing®. There are no clinical data regarding the effect of vaginitis therapy on the effectiveness of the use of the drug NovaRing®, as well as the effect of the use of the drug NovaRing® on the effectiveness of therapy for vaginitis.

— Very rare cases of a ring sticking to the vaginal mucosa have been described, requiring its removal by a medical professional. In some cases where tissue had grown around the ring, removal was accomplished by cutting the ring without cutting the vaginal tissue.

Medical examination/consultation

Before prescribing the drug NuvaRing® or resuming its use, you should carefully review the woman’s medical history (including family history) and conduct a gynecological examination to exclude pregnancy. It is necessary to measure blood pressure, conduct an examination of the mammary glands, pelvic organs, including a cytological examination of cervical smears and some laboratory tests, to exclude contraindications and reduce the risk of possible side effects of the drug. The frequency and nature of medical examinations depend on the individual characteristics of each patient. but medical examinations are carried out at least once every 6 months. A woman should read the instructions for use and follow all recommendations. The woman should be informed that NuvaRing® does not protect against HIV infection (AIDS) and other sexually transmitted diseases.

Reduced efficiency

The effectiveness of the drug NovaRing® may decrease if the regimen is not followed (see the subsection “Deviations from the recommended regimen” of the section “Dosage and Administration”) or concomitant therapy is carried out that reduces the concentration of etonogestrel in the blood plasma (see section “Interaction with other drugs” ).

Changes in the nature of menstruation

During use of the drug NovaRing®, acyclic bleeding may occur (“spotting” spotting or sudden bleeding). If such bleeding is observed after regular cycles with the correct use of the drug NuvaRing®, you should contact your gynecologist to conduct the necessary diagnostic studies, including to exclude organic pathology or pregnancy. A diagnostic curettage may be required.

Some women do not bleed after the ring is removed. If the drug NuvaRing® was used according to the instructions, it is unlikely that the woman is pregnant. If the recommendations of the instructions are not followed and there is no bleeding after removing the ring, as well as if there is no bleeding for two cycles in a row, pregnancy must be excluded.

Effects of ethinyl estradiol and etonogestrel on a sexual partner

The possible pharmacological effects and extent of exposure of ethinyl estradiol and etonogestrel to male sexual partners (due to absorption through penile tissue) have not been studied.

Ring damage

In rare cases, when using the drug NuvaRing®, ring rupture was observed. The core of the drug NuvaRing® is solid, so its contents remain intact, and the release of hormones does not change significantly. Vaginal injury associated with ring rupture has been reported. If the ring ruptures, it usually falls out of the vagina (see the recommendations in the subsection “What to do if the ring has been temporarily removed from the vagina” in the “Dosage and Administration” section). If the ring ruptures, a new ring must be inserted.

Ring falling out

Sometimes the NuvaRing® vaginal ring may fall out of the vagina, for example, if it is inserted incorrectly, when a tampon is removed, during sexual intercourse, or due to severe or chronic constipation. In this regard, it is advisable for a woman to regularly check the presence of the NuvaRing® vaginal ring in the vagina (for example, before and after sexual intercourse). If the NuvaRing® vaginal ring falls out of the vagina, you must follow the recommendations of the subsection “What to do if the ring has been temporarily removed from the vagina” in the “Method of administration and dosage” section.
