Briellyn

Briellyn is a combination oral contraceptive that contains ethinyl estradiol and levonorgestrel. It is primarily used for birth control, but may also be prescribed for other purposes such as regulating menstrual cycles and treating conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Briellyn prevents pregnancy by inhibiting ovulation, altering cervical mucus to hinder sperm movement, and changing the uterine lining to prevent implantation.

How Does Briellyn Work?

Briellyn prevents pregnancy through three mechanisms: it inhibits ovulation (the release of an egg), thickens cervical mucus to make it harder for sperm to enter the uterus, and alters the uterine lining to prevent the implantation of a fertilized egg.
