(without missing pills) they have a failure rate of less than 1% per year. Many
contraceptives are used also for treatment of moderate acne vulgaris in females who
are able to use the pill.

are available for birth control and treatment of infertility.  

Oral contraceptives contain usually a synthetic progestational compound, and ethinyl
estradiol is a synthetic estrogenic compound. The combination of estrogen and
progestin prevents ovulation and changes the cervical mucus and the lining of the
uterus.

Ovulatory stimulators have estrogen-like effect. They stimulate the ovulation in the
ovaries and are indicated for the treatment of ovulatory dysfunction in women who
desire pregnancy.
