The progestational and androgenic activity of each progestin was expressed as receptor-binding affinity (RBA) and standardized to the activity of the progestin norethindrone, as has been done ...

New progestins have been synthesized in the past decade with no intrinsic androgenic effects but potent antiandrogenic activity, including cyproterone acetate, chlormadinone acetate, and dienogest.

The androgenic activity of birth control pills may cause various negative effects, including hair loss. Some progestins have a greater androgenic effect than others.
