Question

Name the hormonal composition of the oral contraceptive used by human females. Explain how does it act as contraceptive?

Answer 1

Almost all methods are composed of steroid hormones, although in India one selective estrogen receptor modulator is marketed as a contraceptive. Oral contraceptives (birth-controlpills) are used to prevent pregnancy. Estrogen and progestin are two femalesex hormones. Combinations of estrogen and progestin work by preventing ovulation (the release of eggs from the ovaries)
