Abstract The effect of the hormone-like estrogen-progestagenic preparation megestranol and of a combination of megestranol and spasmolytin on metabolic activity in the endometrium was studied in experiments on metabolic activity in the endometrium was studied in experiments on rats. The results of a cytochemical investigation showed that megestranol and the megestranol-spasmolytin combination alter the metabolism of the endometrium and lead to a decrease in the RNA content in the epithelial cells of the endometrial glands, thereby creating conditions that prevent normal implantation and development of the fertilized ovum.
