Ethinyl Estradiol(Cat No.:A000604)is a synthetic estrogen used primarily in combination with progestins in oral contraceptives to prevent pregnancy. It works by inhibiting ovulation, altering the cervical mucus to prevent sperm penetration, and modifying the endometrial lining to prevent implantation. Ethinyl Estradiol is also used in hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for menopausal symptoms and in the treatment of certain hormonal disorders. It is highly effective in regulating menstrual cycles and reducing the risk of ovarian and endometrial cancers. Common side effects include nausea, headaches, and an increased risk of blood clots.
