Nomegestrol acetate (NOMAC) is a 19-norprogesterone derivative with high biological activity at the progesterone receptor, a weak anti-androgenic effect, but with no binding to estrogen, glucocorticoid or mineralocorticoid receptors. Nomegestrol has been developed by the Monaco-based company Théramex SAM (a Teva subsidiary). Nomegestrol acetate has been used successfully for the treatment of some gynaecological disorders (menstrual disturbances, dysmenorrhoea, premenstrual syndrome) and as a component of hormone replacement therapy in combination with estradiol for the relief of menopausal symptoms; it has been approved in Europe as monotherapy for the treatment of the menopausal syndrome, uterine diseases and menorrhagia, and in combination with an estrogen for the treatment of menopausal symptoms. Nomegestrol acetate in combination with estradiol is used as an oral contraceptive.

Sample Use Guides
ZOELY (2.5 mg nomegestrol acetate/1.5 mg estradiol) tablets:
One tablet is to be taken daily for 28 consecutive days. Each pack starts with 24 white active tablets, followed by 4 yellow placebo tablets. A subsequent pack is started immediately after finishing the previous pack, without a break in daily tablet intake and irrespective of presence or absence of withdrawal bleeding. Withdrawal bleeding usually starts on day 2-3 after intake of the last white tablet and may not have finished before the next pack is started.
