CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
®
®
Combination oral contraceptives act by suppression of gonadotrophins.
Although the primary
mechanism of this action is inhibition of ovulation, other alterations
include changes in the cervical
mucus (which increase the difficulty of sperm entry into the uterus)
and the endometrium (which may
reduce the likelihood of implantation).
