CRYSELLE Uses, Side Effects, Interactions, Warnings & Dosing
What is CRYSELLE?
CRYSELLE is the brand name for norgestrel and ethinyl estradiol and is available as an oral tablet.

How does CRYSELLE work?
CRYSELLE is a combination oral contraceptive (COC) that contains 2 hormones: ethinyl estradiol (an estrogen) and norgestrel (a progestin). Both hormones work together to prevent pregnancy by suppressing ovulation (release of an egg from the ovary), changing cervical mucus to block sperm movement, and creating an unfriendly environment for the fertilized egg by changing the lining in the uterus (womb).

CRYSELLE is typically taken by mouth and dosed as 1 active tablet by mouth daily for 21 days, followed by 1 placebo tablet daily for the remaining 7 days.
