Femina Medica is an evidence-based FemTech initiative at the intersection of reproductive health, fertility awareness, and pharmacology.
Medications may affect fertility-related patterns in different ways. Depending on the drug and the individual, they may influence ovulation, the quantity or quality of cervical mucus, basal body temperature, or menstrual cycle length.
Femina Medica provides evidence-based information on how medications may affect fertility biomarkers. Each medication entry is based on available scientific and regulatory evidence, with references provided throughout our articles.
We also collect observations and feedback from people who track their fertility biomarkers while taking medications. If you have observed changes in your chart or cycle while using a medication, we invite you to share your experience. Your observations may help identify patterns and contribute to a better understanding of how medications and fertility biomarkers may interact.
In addition, Femina Medica offers educational consultations for individuals who have questions or difficulties when tracking fertility biomarkers while taking medication.
The same medication can have different brand names in different countries. For example, a medicine sold under one brand name in Germany may have a completely different brand name in the UK or the US.
However, medications also have an International Nonproprietary Name (INN) — the internationally recognized name of the active ingredient. Unlike brand names, the INN is generally the same across countries.
Our database is organized so that you can search for a medication in several ways:
If you cannot find a medication by its brand name, try searching for the INN of the active ingredient or the medication class instead.
If you still cannot find the medication you are looking for, please contact us by email info@feminamedica.com, and we will be happy to help.
Behind Femina Medica is Dr. Arevik Aivazova, a pharmacologist, regulatory affairs professional specializing in women’s health.
If you work in women’s health, education, or research, or want to better understand your own cycle, you are welcome to collaborate and connect.
