Drug Details
Elinest is an oral contraceptive designed to prevent pregnancy. It contains two hormones: norgestrel, a progestin, and ethinyl estradiol, an estrogen. These hormones work together to inhibit ovulation and make the uterine lining less suitable for implantation. Elinest is a monophasic pill, meaning each active pill in the 28-day cycle contains the same hormone dose, followed by a week of placebo pills. Besides its primary role in contraception, Elinest may also help regulate menstrual cycles, reduce menstrual bleeding and cramps, lower the risk of ovarian cysts, and improve acne. However, it does not provide protection against sexually transmitted infections such as HIV, gonorrhea, or chlamydia. Common side effects can include weight changes, acne, and menstrual cramps. Always consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new medication.
