Sexual Health and Prescriptions

YASMIN

Traditionally, oral contraceptives (OCs) have had very similar progestins. Even recently developed progestins have all had structures resembling androgens — until now.

YASMIN is the only OC with the novel, dual-property progestin, drospirenone — the only progestin that has AntiMineralocorticoid and AntiAndrogenic* properties. Drospirenone represents a unique class of progestins with an entirely different molecular structure and activity profile than the currently available progestins. Drospirenone is an analogue of spironolactone.

PLAN B

ALESSE

Levonorgestrel - ethinyl estradiol is a progestin (levonorgestrel) and estrogen (ethinyl estradiol) combination birth control pill used for the prevention of pregnancy. The ingredients of the medication work by preventing ovulation (the release of an egg from an ovary) and causing changes in the mucus of the cervix which make it difficult for sperm to penetrate and for an egg to implant. This medication may also be taken to treat acne in women 14 years of age and older or to regulate the menstrual cycle.

Alesse is also effective as an emergency contraceptive.

MIRCETTE

MIRCETTE® (desogestrel/ethinyl estradiol and ethinyl estradiol) Tablets has excellent cycle control as demonstrated by clinical trials. The regimen begins with 21 days of 20 mcg ethinyl estradiol and 150 mcg desogestrel. The last seven days in the cycle start with two days of placebo pills, followed by five days of 10 mcg ethinyl estradiol pills.

ORTHO TRI-CYCLEN

Ortho Tri-Cyclen provides you with a low daily dose of hormones that prevent pregnancy, while actually lowering the level of the hormone in your body that's likely to cause acne. In clinical tests, ORTHO TRI-CYCLEN has been clinically proven to help reduce mild to moderate acne—nearly nine out of ten women saw improvements in their skin.

ORTHO EVRA PATCH

SEASONALE

Ethinyl estradiol and levonorgestrel are hormones that affect the ovulatory and menstrual cycle of women. Ethinyl estradiol and levonorgestrel prevent ovulation (the release of an egg from an ovary), therefore preventing the possibility of pregnancy. Seasonale may also inhibit pregnancy by causing the cervical mucous to thicken, which makes it harder for sperm to move toward the uterus, and reducing the likelihood of attachment of a fertilized egg to the uterus.
