Tarina FE 1/20 EQ

Tarina Fe 1/20 EQ is a combination oral contraceptive that contains two hormones: ethinyl estradiol (an estrogen) and norethindrone acetate (a progestin). It is used to prevent pregnancy by inhibiting ovulation, thickening cervical mucus, and altering the uterine lining, making it less suitable for implantation. In addition to contraception, Tarina Fe 1/20 EQ may also be used to regulate menstrual cycles, treat acne, and reduce symptoms of premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD).
