Quartette
Quartette is a combination oral contraceptive that contains four different hormone doses of ethinyl estradiol (an estrogen) and levonorgestrel (a progestin). It is specifically designed to provide effective birth control while minimizing the number of withdrawal bleeding periods (menstrual-like bleeding) in women. Quartette is unique in its dosing schedule, as it provides varying hormone levels throughout the month, which can help reduce side effects and improve adherence.

- Altering the endometrial lining: The hormonal combination alters the lining of the uterus, making it less suitable for implantation of a fertilized egg.
