MONOFEME

Monofeme Information

Monofeme is an oral contraceptive based on two hormones similar to those that normally exist in the female organism – Levonorgestrel and Ethinyloestradiol. This pharmaceutical product prevents pregnancy in several ways: it stops egg maturation thus inhibiting their release, it changes the consistency of the cervical mucus reducing the chances for the sperm to reach the egg and also it alters the endometrium (the lining of the uterus) so that it is less suitable for egg implantation. It should be noted that, as with all oral contraceptives, Monofeme does not offer a 100% guarantee against pregnancy.
