Drug Class and Mechanism :
This pills belongs to the class of oral contraceptives.
The daily dose of hormones taken in the pill work mainly by tricking the body into thinking that ovulation has already happened. This prevents an egg from ripening and being released from the ovaries each month.
The hormones also increase the thickness of the natural mucus at the neck of the womb, which makes it more difficult for sperm to cross from the vagina into the womb and reach an egg. They also change the quality of the womb lining (endometrium), making it less likely that a fertilised egg can implant there.
Storage :
Store at room temperature away from light and moisture. Do not store in the bathroom. Keep all medications away from children and pets.
