Effectiveness
How Safyral Affects Patients
Ethinylestradiol is a synthetic estrogen used to stop ovulation and prevent the growth of the uterine lining. It is taken once daily and is generally considered to be a safe drug, although it can increase the risk of blood clots. Patients should speak to their doctor about the potential risks.
How Safyral works in the body
Ethinylestradiol is a synthetic form of estrogen. Taking ethinylestradiol can reduce bone density and suppress ovulation. It works by stopping the hormones that help control ovulation, blocking sperm from traveling to the egg, and preventing the endometrium from changing to allow a fertilized egg to implant. It also reduces luteinizing hormone, making the endometrium less vascular, and increases the amount of sex hormone binding globulin.
