What is Balcoltra?

Balcoltra is a brand-name combined oral contraceptive approved by the FDA for the prevention of pregnancy. This oral birth control pill contains a combination of levonorgestrel, a progestin, and ethinyl estradiol, and estrogen. These two female hormones prevent the release of an egg, increase the thickness of the cervical mucus, and change the uterine lining. This pill may also regulate your periods and decrease their severity. Balcoltra also contains ferrous bisglycinate, an iron supplement. 

Balcoltra is taken orally, and it works best when taken around the same time each day. Skipping doses will lower the effect of the medication. A pack of Balcoltra contains 21 active tablets containing 0.10 mg of levonorgestrel and 0.02 mg of ethinyl estradiol. It also contains 7 inactive placebo tablets containing 36.5 mg of ferrous bisglycinate.
