About Brevinor Contraceptive Pill

It contains ethinylestradiol 35 micrograms and norethisterone 500 micrograms, two female sex hormones that work together to provide reliable hormonal contraception. Brevinor works by preventing ovulation (release of an egg), thickening cervical mucus to block sperm, and thinning the lining of the womb to make implantation less likely.
