Drug Details
Low-Ogestrel is an oral contraceptive designed to prevent pregnancy. It contains two hormones, norgestrel (a progestin) and ethinyl estradiol (an estrogen), which work together to stop ovulation and make changes to the uterine lining, making it less likely for pregnancy to occur. This medication comes in a 28-day pack with 21 active hormone pills and 7 placebo pills, ensuring a consistent hormone dosage throughout the cycle. In addition to pregnancy prevention, Low-Ogestrel can help regulate menstrual cycles, reduce the severity of periods, and lower the risk of ovarian cysts. However, it does not offer protection against sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Common side effects include weight changes, acne, and menstrual cramps. It is important to consult healthcare professionals before starting any medication, including Low-Ogestrel, to ensure it is safe and suitable for your individual health needs.
