Product Images Norgestimate And Ethinyl Estradiol

Norgestimate and Ethinyl Estradiol are a combination of female hormones used to prevent pregnancy. Norgestimate and Ethinyl Estradiol work by preventing the release of eggs from the ovaries (ovulation). They also change the cervical mucus and the lining of the uterus to make it more difficult for sperm to fertilize an egg or for a fertilized egg to attach to the uterus. This medication may also be used to treat acne in women 15 years of age and older who have started having menstrual periods, and who wish to use birth control pills to prevent pregnancy.*

This appears to be a visual representation of different methods of birth control and the chances of becoming pregnant based on each method. The methods are listed with their corresponding rates of pregnancies per 100 women in one year. Methods with fewer pregnancies include implants, injections, intrauterine devices, sterilization, birth control pills, skin patch, and vaginal ring with hormones. Methods with higher rates of pregnancy include no birth control, condoms, diaphragm, spermicide, withdrawal, and having no sex during the most fertile days of the monthly cycle.*
