Ginette-35 is a type of hormonal contraceptive that is used to prevent pregnancy. It is a combination of two hormones – ethinylestradiol and cyproterone acetate – that work together to prevent ovulation. The contraceptive also thickens the mucus in the cervix, making it difficult for sperm to reach the egg.
Ginette-35 is generally prescribed to women who are in their reproductive years and are looking for a reliable form of contraception. It is also used to treat women with severe acne, hirsutism, and other conditions that are caused by an imbalance in hormones.
Side Effects
Ginette-35 is generally safe and well-tolerated, but it can cause some side effects. These may include nausea, headaches, breast tenderness, and mood changes. In rare cases, it can cause more serious side effects such as blood clots, stroke, and heart attack. Women should talk to their doctor about the potential risks and benefits of taking Ginette-35 before starting the medication.
Active Ingredients
Ginette-35 contains two active ingredients – ethinylestradiol and cyproterone acetate. Ethinylestradiol is a synthetic form of the hormone estrogen and is responsible for preventing ovulation.
