Desogestrel

Desogestrel is a progestin-based medication that is used as a form of birth control. It is a synthetic hormone that works by preventing ovulation, thickening cervical mucus to make it harder for sperm to reach the egg, and thinning the lining of the uterus to make it less likely for a fertilized egg to implant. Desogestrel is commonly found in hormonal birth control methods such as the birth control pill.
