Description

Buy Ortho Cyclen Online from Licensed Canadian Pharmacies

Ortho Cyclen is a prescription oral contraceptive that combines two synthetic hormones: ethinyl estradiol (0.035 mg), an estrogen, and norgestimate (0.25 mg), a progestin. It is primarily used to prevent pregnancy by thickening cervical mucus, inhibiting ovulation, and altering the uterine lining to reduce the chance of fertilization and implantation.

Ortho Cyclen each pack contains 28 tablets, 21 active pills with hormones and 7 inactive (reminder) pills, designed to keep a routine and trigger withdrawal bleeding. It is taken once daily and is intended for use under the supervision of a healthcare provider. You can order Ortho Cyclen online through a trusted Canadian pharmacy with a valid prescription.
