GameChangers: COX-2 Inhibitors to Increase Effectiveness of Emergency Contraception

Emergency contraception use has an effectiveness of about 70%. Join host, Geoff Wall, as he reviews new literature to see if COX-2 inhibition improves that rate.

THE GAMECHANGER: Emergency contraception (EC) is safe and effective but overall efficacy rates could be better. COX-2 inhibitors may enhance the effectiveness of EC but require multiday dosing.

Upon successful completion of this course, learners should be able to:
1. Describe the selection of the particular COX-2 medication used in this study
2. Discuss the implications of the COX-2 augmentation with patients
