ABIGALE LO, ABIGALE

What is this medication? Abigale and Abigale Lo are combination oral contraceptive pills primarily used to prevent pregnancy. These medications contain two types of female hormones, an estrogen and a progestin, which work together to suppress the hormones that trigger ovulation. By preventing the ovaries from releasing an egg each month, the medication effectively prevents conception from occurring when used consistently and correctly according to a healthcare provider's instructions.

In addition to stopping ovulation, these pills work by thickening cervical mucus to make it more difficult for sperm to reach an egg and by thinning the uterine lining to prevent an embryo from attaching. Doctors may also prescribe these medications for purposes other than birth control, such as regulating menstrual cycles, reducing heavy menstrual bleeding, or alleviating painful periods. To ensure the highest level of effectiveness, it is important to take the medication at the same time every day.
