The present invention relates to a method for the management of dysmenorrhea involving administration of an estrogenic component which is preferably selected from the group consisting of estetrol and estetrol-like compounds. Estetrol-like compounds have been surprisingly found to be capable of mitigating dysmenorrhea, either when used alone or in combination with progestogenic components, and this to an extent surpassing the effect obtained with other compositions and with a favourable side-effect profile compared to currently available methods.

The present invention describes methods and compositions for improving the therapeutic efficacy of therapeutic agents previously limited by suboptimal therapeutic performance by either improving efficacy as monotherapy or reducing side effects. Such methods and compositions are particularly applicable to mustard-based alkylating agents such as uracil mustard and analogs, derivatives, or prodrugs thereof, including 6-methyluracil mustard and 6-ethyluracil mustard.

The present invention relates to a hormone replacement therapy, to the associated compounds and to the associated packaging units, for alleviating menopause-associated symptoms which is based on the administration to a female mammal of an estetrol component at specified daily doses, optionally in combination with a progestogenic component.

The therapy enjoys a statistically significant efficacy combined with a favourable profile for side effects compared to currently available methods for alleviating menopause-associated symptoms.

The present invention is related to deuterated secnidazole, a prodrug thereof, a metabolite thereof, a hydrate thereof, a solvate thereof, a polymorph thereof, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and its use for the treatment of bacterial vaginosis or trichomoniasis in a subject in need thereof. The present invention is also related to pharmaceutical compositions and methods and uses of treating bacterial vaginosis, trichomoniasis, amoebiasis, giardiasis, or a combination thereof. The present invention is also related to methods of screening deuterated forms of secnidazole to identify potent and high metabolic lifetime compounds for treating bacterial vaginosis or trichomoniasis.
