Additional Information for Norgestimate And Ethinyl Estradiol Tablets
Norgestimate and Ethinyl Estradiol Tablets are a combination hormonal contraceptive medication. They are commonly known as birth control pills or oral contraceptives. These tablets contain two active ingredients: norgestimate, which is a progestin, and ethinyl estradiol, which is an estrogen.
Norgestimate and Ethinyl Estradiol Tablets are used to prevent pregnancy by inhibiting ovulation (the release of an egg from the ovary) and by altering the cervical mucus and the lining of the uterus, making it difficult for sperm to reach the egg or for a fertilized egg to implant in the uterus.
These tablets are typically taken once a day, at the same time each day, for a 28-day cycle. The pack usually contains 21 active tablets, which contain the hormones, and 7 inactive tablets, which do not contain any hormones. During the week of inactive tablets, a withdrawal bleed (similar to a menstrual period) usually occurs.
It is important to note that Norgestimate and Ethinyl Estradiol Tablets do not protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs). They are solely intended for contraception purposes.
As for the supply class and group, Norgestimate and Ethinyl Estradiol Tablets fall under the supply class "Drugs And Biologicals" and the supply group "Medical, Dental, And Veterinary Equipment And Supplies." This classification is used to categorize and manage the supply and distribution of various medical products and equipment.
