Alesse-28

Alesse-28 is a combination birth control pill that contains two hormones, ethinyl estradiol and levonorgestrel. It is used to prevent pregnancy by preventing ovulation, changing the cervical mucus to make it harder for sperm to reach the egg, and making the lining of the uterus thinner. Alesse-28 is taken once daily for 28 days, with active pills for the first 21 days and inactive pills for the last 7 days. It is important to take the pills at the same time every day to maximize effectiveness.
