Norgestimate
Norgestimate is only found in individuals that have used or taken this drug. It is a form of progesterone, which is a female hormone important for the regliation of ovliation and menstruation. Norgestimate is used with estradiol to treat the symptoms of menopause.Norgestimate binds to androgen and progestogen receptors. Target cells include the female reproductive tract, the mammary gland, the hypothalamus, and the pituitary. Once bound to the receptor, progestins like Norgestimate will slow the frequency of release of gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) from the hypothalamus and blunt the pre-ovliatory LH (luteinizing hormone) surge.
