Lynestrenol is a synthetic progestogen (progestin) formerly used for contraception, treatment of menstrual disorders, and certain gynecological conditions. It is a 19-nortestosterone derivative and functions primarily by suppressing ovulation and altering endometrial structure. Its clinical use has largely been discontinued in most countries and it is rarely used today.
Pharmacokinetic parameters here are estimates for healthy adult women, as there is a lack of published compartmental PK models or explicit PK parameter reports for lynestrenol. Values are inferred based on related progestogens and available summary data.
