Zoely

Zoely as a Contraception

Zoely 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 28 days. It also helps alleviate symptoms of menstruation.

What is Zoely and how does it work?

The pill contains active substances called nomegestrol acetate and oestradiol and some ingredients as a placebo. These hormones are also produced by the body. Zoely works by altering the hormonal balance of the body to prevent ovulation by making the lining of the uterus less receptive to egg implantation.
