Falmina

Falmina (generic name: levonorgestrel and ethinyl estradiol) is a combination oral contraceptive pill used to prevent pregnancy. It contains two hormones, progestin (levonorgestrel) and estrogen (ethinyl estradiol), which work together to prevent ovulation, thicken cervical mucus, and alter the uterine lining, making it more difficult for sperm to reach the egg or for a fertilized egg to implant.
