Ovranette is a monophasic 21-day contraceptive pill containing the active ingredients ethinylestradiol and levonorgestrel. It helps to make it harder for the sperm to penetrate the womb and to reduce the chance of a fertilised egg implanting in the womb. It is over 99% effective at preventing pregnancy if taken correctly.
