Lizinna is a combined hormonal contraceptive pill that contains two active ingredients: ethinylestradiol (a synthetic form of estrogen) and norgestimate (a synthetic form of progestogen).
How Lizinna Works: Lizinna works by preventing ovulation (the release of an egg from the ovary), thickening the cervical mucus to impede sperm movement, and altering the uterine lining to discourage implantation.
