Mala N is a combined oral contraceptive medication used to prevent pregnancy. It works by stopping ovulation.
How Mala N Works
Mala N contains two hormones, estrogen and progestin, which are crucial for its contraceptive action. Here's a breakdown of its mechanism:
- Inhibits Ovulation: The primary action of Mala N is to prevent the release of an egg from the ovaries, a process known as ovulation. Without an egg, fertilization by sperm cannot occur.
- Thickens Cervical Mucus: In addition to preventing ovulation, Mala N also thickens the cervical mucus. This thickened mucus makes it difficult for sperm to travel through the cervix and reach the egg.
