The treatment of gynecological disorders and prostate cancer.
Ethinylestradiol + Lynestrenol is a combination of two hormonal contraceptives, which belongs to the class of estrogen-progestin combination. Ethinylestradiol is a synthetic estrogen and lynestrenol is a progestin. The contraceptive effect of ethinylestradiol + lynestrenol results from the inhibition of ovulation through the suppression of follicular maturation and the prevention of LH (Luteinizing hormone) surge, as well as the thickening of cervical mucus, which inhibits sperm penetration.
