JOLESSA

Jolessa (along with its branded generics) is a combination oral contraceptive (COC) that contains 2 hormones: ethinyl estradiol (an estrogen) and levonorgestrel (a progestin). Both hormones work together to prevent pregnancy by: Suppressing ovulation (release of an egg from the ovary) Changing cervical mucus to block sperm movement Creating an unfriendly environment for the fertilized egg by changing the lining in the uterus (womb)
