Should[edit]

Should the "non-hormonal" comment be taken out? There are no artifical hormones in it, but it does effect your hormones. Le film 21:02, 16 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It should not be removed. The existing description makes it clear that ormeloxifene directly affects the hormonal system. The comment "non-hormonal" is there to differentiate ormeloxifene from hormonal contraceptives. Joie de Vivre 17:39, 18 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"pregnancy rate" rather than "failure rate"[edit]

Note discussion at Talk:Birth control#"pregnancy rate" rather than "failure rate" re replacing occurrences of "failure rate" with "pregnancy rate". I would also like to see the same change on this page. Please make any comments there. --Coppertwig 04:02, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Weight gain parameter in infobox[edit]

I would like to treat this parameter the same on all the hormonal contraception articles. Please read my opinion and discuss this issue at Talk:Combined oral contraceptive pill#Weight parameter in infobox. Lyrl^Talk _C 21:30, 20 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

External links[edit]

External links on Wikipedia are supposed to be "encyclopedic in nature" and useful to a worldwide audience. Please read the external links policy (and perhaps the specific rules for medicine-related articles) before adding more external links.

The following kinds of links are inappropriate:

Online discussion groups or chat forums
Personal webpages and blogs
Multiple links to the same website
Fundraising events or groups
Websites that are recruiting for clinical trials
Websites that are selling things (e.g., books or memberships)

I realize that some links are helpful to certain users, but they still do not comply with Wikipedia policy, and therefore must not be included in the article. WhatamIdoing (talk) 07:56, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Typical Use[edit]

I would like to know if anyone has any information on what would be the result of user error for the typical use failure rates. I personally can't think of any as this pill is taken once a week. Unless someone misses a week? I believe this info would be beneficial to the article DSantomauro (talk) 13:08, 17 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Moved from article[edit]

I have moved the following content here because it lacks context/explanation. If anyone wants to use it to improve the article, here it is. -- Ed (Edgar181) 22:16, 26 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong structur depiction[edit]

As their is also a wiki article about Levormeloxifene wouldn't it be more accurate to choose a pic of the structure without the natta projection?

Then it would like the structure at the pubchem article (https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/compound/Ormeloxifene) because now this article and the Levormeloxifene article has the same structral pic, just bottom to top and horizontally flipped. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BoulevardPtA (talk • contribs) 14:22, 3 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
