Description
Product Overview:
Ovral L Tablet is a combined oral contraceptive pill used primarily for contraception to prevent pregnancy and to regulate irregular menstrual periods. It works by inhibiting the release of eggs from the ovaries, thickening cervical mucus to prevent sperm from reaching the egg, and altering the uterine lining to make it unsuitable for implantation. Ovral L Tablet is a safe and reliable contraceptive option when used correctly.
Key Ingredients:
- Ethinyl Estradiol (0.03mg)
A synthetic form of estrogen, it helps to regulate the menstrual cycle and supports the function of the other hormone in the pill. - Levonorgestrel (0.15mg)
A synthetic progestin, it prevents ovulation, thickens cervical mucus, and alters the uterine lining to prevent pregnancy.

How Ovral L Tablet Works:
Ovral L Tablet is a combined oral contraceptive containing two hormones: Ethinyl Estradiol (an estrogen) and Levonorgestrel (a progestin). It works in three main ways:
- Prevents ovulation, which means no egg is released for fertilization.
- Thickens cervical mucus, making it harder for sperm to enter the uterus.
- Changes the uterine lining, making it unsuitable for implantation of a fertilized egg.
When taken as directed, Ovral L Tablet provides reliable contraception without interfering with normal sexual activity.
