How it Works
Ovral L Tablet is primarily used to prevent ovulation (the release of an egg from the ovary). The combined effects of Levonorgestrel and Ethinylestradiol work to thicken the cervical mucus, providing a barrier to the movement of sperm toward the ovulating egg. In addition, it alters the endometrium such that no implantation of a fertilized egg may occur, further lowering the chances of conception.
Conclusion
Ovral L Tablet is an effective and widely used oral contraceptive with many functions, including regulating the menstrual cycle and lessening period pains. It is extremely important that this alternative to the pill is used under the supervision of a doctor so that side effects that could involve a few risks might be minimized, thus achieving effective contraception. In cases of severe side effects, contact a physician right away.
