Ovranette

Ovranette as a Contraception

Ovranette is a form of combined contraception that is taken to prevent unwanted pregnancy for women. It is an oral birth control pill to be taken consecutively for 21 days with a 7-day break. It may also help to alleviate symptoms of menstruation or for the treatment of endometriosis.

What is Ovranette and how does it work?

The pill contains synthetic progesterone and oestrogen. These hormones are also produced by the body. Ovranette works by altering the hormonal balance of the body to prevent ovulation by making the lining of the uterus less receptive to egg implantation.
