Combination hormonal contraceptive: ethinyl estradiol suppresses gonadotropin release, inhibiting ovulation; norethindrone induces endometrial changes, increasing cervical mucus viscosity.
LOARGYS is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that inhibits cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) enzymes, thereby reducing the synthesis of prostaglandins involved in inflammation, pain, and fever.
