Comment: Desogestrel is a progestin (synthetic progesterone-like agent) widely used in third-generation hormonal contraceptives. Desogestrel is converted to etonogestrel (3-ketodesogestrel) in vivo. There has been controversy surrounding reports that third-generation oral contraceptives containing desogestrel pose a risk of dangerous blood clots compared to older second-generation oral contraceptives.
