Norethindrone Acetate and Ethinyl Estradiol is a prescription combination oral contraceptive used to prevent pregnancy. Containing a progestin and an estrogen, it prevents ovulation, thickens cervical mucus, and alters the uterine lining to stop fertilization and implantation. Loestrin may also help regulate menstrual cycles, reduce cramps, lighten periods, and manage acne or PMS symptoms. Some formulations include iron-containing placebo tablets for consistent daily dosing.
