Ovipauz L Tablet contains two female sex hormones, progestin (levonorgestrel) and estrogen (ethinylestradiol), which help prevent pregnancy in multiple ways. It prevents the release of an egg from the ovaries and makes the fluid present in the cervix difficult for sperm to enter the womb. In addition, it prevents the thickening of the uterus's inner wall, which is necessary for an egg to grow and multiply. Ovipauz L Tablet is generally taken for 21 days starting from day one of the menstrual cycle, and then for the next seven days, it is not taken, and the same course is repeated.
