Ovral G (Norgestrel/Ethinyl Estradiol): Tablet for Prevention of Preganancy

Ovral G Tablet is a combined oral contraceptive used primarily for birth control. It prevents the release of an egg from the ovary, thickens cervical mucus to restrict sperm entry, and alters the uterine lining to inhibit implantation. It is also helpful in regulating menstrual cycles and easing period discomfort.

• Contraception (prevention of pregnancy)

Benefits of Ovral G:

• Reliable method of contraception when used consistently
