ETHINYLESTRADIOL+FERROUS FUMARATE+LEVONORGESTREL belongs to the class of medications called ‘contraceptives’ primarily used for birth control and treating dysmenorrhea (irregular and painful periods). Contraception is a procedure that aims to prevent pregnancy and is used in family planning. Dysmenorrhea is irregular and painful, leading to abdominal pain, digestion problems, fainting, vomiting, and nausea.

ETHINYLESTRADIOL+FERROUS FUMARATE+LEVONORGESTREL is a combination of three medicines: Levonorgesterol, Ethinylestradiol, and Ferrous fumarate. ETHINYLESTRADIOL+FERROUS FUMARATE+LEVONORGESTREL works by preventing the release of an egg from ovaries and making sperm entry difficult to enter in the uterus to fertilise sperm and egg. In addition to this, ETHINYLESTRADIOL+FERROUS FUMARATE+LEVONORGESTREL prevents the thickening of the uterus's inner wall, required for an egg growth in the uterus. Ferrous fumarate is required to make up for the amount of iron in the women lost during their menstrual period.
