Is The Medical Composition Of Ovral And Oralcon The Same?
Question: Hi. My clinic gave me oralcom and said its the same as ovral I always use. Just want to make sure if it is the same thing?
Brief Answer:
they contain similar active substances
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
both ovral and oralcon contain ethinyl estradiol. Ovral also contains norgestrel. Oralcon contains levonorgestrel. As you can understand by their names norgestrel and levonorgestrel are very similar drugs and can be used interchangeably. So although they are not exactly the same drugs, they can be used the same way and achieve the same results.
I hope it helps!
Kind Regards!
