How does the ingredient?
The drug is a combination of the drugs ethinyl estradiol and levonorgestrel. It is used for contraception.
Ethinyl estradiol is an estrogen, a progestin levonorgestrel. Both are artificial derivatives of natural hormones that regulate the female body in the course of the menstrual cycle and during pregnancy.
Depending on the amount of estrogen have different effects in the body. In the normal menstrual cycle small amounts of estrogen to promote the maturation of an egg in the ovary, ovulation, and thus the ability to conceive. During pregnancy, the body produces more estrogen. This suppresses the maturation of a new egg and the egg. The already fertilized egg to ripen in peace.
Also progestins during pregnancy to protect the fertilized egg. They also suppress ovulation and thicken the mucus in addition, closing of the cervix, and thus making it impermeable to sperm. In addition, they alter the structure of the uterine lining so the fertilized egg can grow. A new egg can not embed themselves into this altered mucosa.
This effect is exploited in prevention. Through the combination of estrogens with progestins can mimic despite the lack of ovulation, the normal menstrual cycle of women mostly. The monthly menstrual period continues to take place.
The menstrual period runs weakened slightly and evenly. For this reason, some contraceptive drugs also come for painful menstrual complaints or irregular menstrual cycles are used.
