The invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions for emergency contraception, to the use of levonorgestrel in combination with COX inhibitors for the preparation of pharmaceutical compositions for the stated purpose, and to a method for preparing these pharmaceutical compositions.

Pharmaceutical composition for emergency contraception

The invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition in the form of a system in film form for transmucosal administration of steroid hormones. An administration system for steroid hormones which dissolves in the mouth and which releases with a high bioavailability is disclosed. The administration system in film form dissolves in the mouth preferably in a period of less than 30 min, and the steroid hormone entering the bloodstream transmucosally from the administration system leads to a rapid rise in the concentration in the blood. It is thus possible to achieve a maximum concentration of this steroid hormone in the blood in a period of less than 60 min after administration.
