Trimegestone is a 19-norpregnane progestin. It has a potent progesterone receptor and very low androgen receptor affinities but no detectable affinity to oestrogen receptor. Trimegestone has been developed for use in conjunction with oestrogen and 17-beta-estradiol for postmenopausal hormone replacement therapy. In vitro studies have shown that trimegestone can inhibit cytochrome P450 2C19 (CYP2C19). Although its clinical importance is unknown, trimegestone can moderately elevate the plasma concentration of drugs metabolized through CYP2C19, such as citalopram, imipramine and diazepam. Trimegestone is an effective and well-tolerated new progestin, which does not negate the beneficial effects of oestrogen on lipids.
