Product Images Desogestrel And Ethinyl Estradiol

DESOGESTREL ETHINYL ESTRADIOL is a combination of two hormones, used primarily as a contraceptive to prevent pregnancy. The dosage contains Desogestrel which is a synthetic progestogen and Ethinyl estradiol which is a synthetic estrogen. These hormones work together to prevent ovulation by suppressing the release of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). Additionally, it thins the lining of the uterus, making it more difficult for a fertilized egg to implant. The given additional text is not-readable.*

The risk of these cardiovascular side effects tends to increase with the number of cigarettes smoked and age.*
