Levonorgestrel is an estrogen/progestin combined contraceptive used to prevent pregnancy

Levonorgestrel is a combination of two hormones, Levonorgestrel (a progestin) and ethinyl estradiol (an estrogen). These two hormones work together to help prevent pregnancy by:

• Stopping ovulation (release of an egg from the ovary) by blocking luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH)
• Thickening cervical mucus (fluid from the cervix), which makes it hard for sperm to move and fertilize an egg
• Thinning the lining of the uterus (womb) so a fertilized egg can’t live

Levonorgestrel is typically taken by mouth once daily. There are 91 active tablets and they contain different dosages of Levonorgestrel and ethinyl estradiol. Days 1 through 84: 0.15 mg of Levonorgestrel and 30 mcg of ethinyl estradiol Days 85 through 91: 10 mcg of ethinyl estradiol
