Levora is the brand name for levonorgestrel and ethinyl estradiol and is available as an oral tablet.

Levora is available as an oral tablet containing 0.15 mg of levonorgestrel and 0.03 mg of ethinyl estradiol.

Levora is an estrogen/progestin combined contraceptive used to prevent pregnancy.

Levora is a combined contraceptive that contains two hormones: ethinyl estradiol (an estrogen) and levonorgestrel (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
• Creating an unfriendly environment for the fertilized egg by changing the lining in the uterus (womb)

Levora is typically taken by mouth once a day. The first 21 days contain active ingredients while the last 7 contain a placebo.
