Belgian women’s health specialist Mithra Pharmaceuticals says the Canadian and US approvals and European endorsement received for its Estelle (estetrol/drospirenone) 15mg/3mg oral contraceptive mark a “turning point in its history,” following the firm’s previous successes with products including its Myring (etonogestrel/ethinylestradiol) generic rival to Merck & Co’s NuvaRing vaginal ring for which it expects to see further launches later this year.
