About this product
Overview
Estranor Tablet is a combination hormonal contraceptive that contains two active ingredients, Estradiol Valerate (an estrogen) and Norgestrel (a progestin). It is commonly prescribed as an oral contraceptive to prevent pregnancy. The combination of these hormones works by inhibiting ovulation, altering the cervical mucus to make it more difficult for sperm to reach the egg, and affecting the uterine lining to prevent the implantation of a fertilized egg.
