Abstract

This is the first study evaluating the interest of antigonadotropic progestin contraception in a series of women with non-allergic angioedema. Progestins, especially antigonadotropic progestins, appear to convey a marked benefit in most cases. Antigonadotropic progestins could thus be recommended as adjuvant treatment in childbearing women with non-allergic angioedema.
