Women can prevent pregnancy by using the contraceptive pill, Loette. It has both progestin and estrogen in low dose format to prohibit the occurrence of pregnancy by diffusing the chances of ovaries releasing matured eggs for fertilization. The medicine also alters the cervix and uterus so that the implantation does not happen, and sperm cannot enter the uterine space for causing pregnancy.
The medication is available in a 21 or 28-day format. The product releases synthetic hormones to block LH and FSH gonadotropic hormones (responsible for ovulation). The uterine lining turns ripe when the medicine acts, and cervical mucus thickens. Shedding of the endometrium occurs when hormonal supplements of contraception are not provided creating withdrawal bleeding.
