Comprehensive Drug Guide
How Does Enskyce Work?
Enskyce prevents pregnancy by inhibiting the release of an egg (ovulation), thickening cervical mucus to prevent sperm from reaching an egg, and altering the uterine lining to make it less favorable for implantation. These combined effects make it highly effective as a contraceptive when taken correctly.
