Effectiveness
How Aurovela 1/20 Affects PatientsEthinylestradiol is a synthetic estrogen that helps to stop ovulation and reduce the growth of the lining in the uterus. It is taken once a day and is generally considered to be a safe drug, with few serious side effects from an overdose. However, patients should be aware of the increased risk of thrombotic events associated with this drug.
How Aurovela 1/20 works in the bodyEthinylestradiol is a synthetic version of the female hormone estrogen. It is used in oral contraceptives to stop ovulation, thicken cervical mucus, and prevent the endometrium from changing in a way that would allow an egg to implant. Ethinylestradiol also lowers levels of luteinizing hormone, which decreases blood flow to the endometrium, and raises levels of sex hormone binding globulin.
