Ethinyl Estradiol is a synthetic form of the hormone estrogen, commonly used in combination with another hormone, progestin, as a component of hormonal contraceptives such as birth control pills, patches, and vaginal rings. It works by suppressing ovulation, thickening cervical mucus to prevent sperm from reaching the egg, and thinning the lining of the uterus. Additionally, Ethinyl Estradiol may be used in the treatment of acne and other conditions related to hormone imbalances.*
