Wirkt durch

By preventing ovulation, thickening cervical mucus, and altering the lining of the uterus, Levonorgestrel / Ethinylestradiol works on multiple levels to prevent pregnancy. These hormonal actions mimic the body’s natural processes to maintain a stable hormonal balance and prevent the release of an egg. This multi-target approach provides reliable and well-tolerated contraceptive protection when used regularly and according to instructions.
