hormonal contraceptive
Pregnancy prevention medication
A hormonal contraceptive is a drug or device that prevents pregnancy by altering hormone levels—typically estrogen, progestin, or both.
These include birth control pills, patches, injections, implants, and hormonal IUDs.
The hormones work by suppressing ovulation, thickening cervical mucus, or thinning the uterine lining: She switched to a hormonal contraceptive after trying other methods.
