Regulon 21 tablets:
This medication is a combined oral contraceptive pill (the "pill"). She takes it to prevent pregnancy.
This pill is a 21-day pill - you take a pill every day for 21 days, followed by 7 days when you don't take pills.
How Regulon works:
- These low-dose contraceptives contain two types of female sex hormones, estrogen and progesterone.
- These hormones prevent the release of an egg from the ovaries so that you do not get pregnant.
- It also makes the fluid (mucus) in the cervix thicker, making it more difficult for sperm to enter the uterus.
- In addition, androgens stimulate hair growth and sebaceous glands in your skin. Blocking their effect reduces oil production, acne and hair growth.
