Comment: Mestranol is a biologically inactive prodrug of ethinylestradiol, which it is demethylated in the liver with a conversion efficiency of 70%. Mestranol is used as an estrogen component of many combined oral contraceptives. The combined oral contraceptives show efficacy in endometriosis symptoms management, but not estrogen component itself.
