Lizinna is a type of oral contraceptive pill, commonly referred to as the birth control pill, which is used to prevent pregnancy. It belongs to a group of medications known as combined oral contraceptives, which contain two active ingredients: an estrogen (ethinylestradiol) and a progestogen (norgestimate). These hormones work together to stop ovulation, thicken cervical mucus to prevent sperm from reaching an egg, and thin the lining of the uterus to prevent attachment of a fertilized egg. Lizinna is typically taken once daily, with each pack containing 21 active pills followed by a 7-day pill-free interval during which a withdrawal bleed (similar to a period) usually occurs. It is important for users to take the pill at the same time every day to maintain its effectiveness. Like all medications, Lizinna can have side effects and is not suitable for everyone, so it's important to consult a healthcare provider before starting it.
