What is Planovar

Ethinyl estradiol and norgestrel is a combination drug that contains female hormones that prevent ovulation (the release of an egg from an ovary). Planovar also causes changes in your cervical mucus and uterine lining, making it harder for sperm to reach the uterus and harder for a fertilized egg to attach to the uterus.
Ethinyl estradiol and norgestrel is used as contraception to prevent pregnancy.
Ethinyl estradiol and norgestrel may also be used for purposes not listed in Planovar guide.
