How it works

From the US prescribing label for the same active substance (Norethindrone). It describes the substance, not this exact product.

Mode of Action Norethindrone progestin-only oral contraceptives prevent conception by suppressing ovulation in approximately half of users, thickening the cervical mucus to inhibit sperm penetration, lowering the midcycle LH and FSH peaks, slowing the movement of the ovum through the fallopian tubes and altering the endometrium.
