Zovia 1/35e is a combination oral contraceptive pill that is commonly prescribed to women to prevent pregnancy. This medication contains two hormones, ethinyl estradiol and ethynodiol diacetate, which work together to prevent ovulation and thicken cervical mucus to make it harder for sperm to reach the egg.

When taken correctly, Zovia 1/35e is highly effective in preventing pregnancy. It is important to take this medication at the same time every day to ensure its effectiveness. It is also important to follow the instructions provided by your healthcare provider and to not skip any doses.

In addition to preventing pregnancy, Zovia 1/35e may also help regulate menstrual cycles, reduce menstrual cramps, and decrease the risk of developing ovarian cysts. Some women may also experience lighter and more regular periods while taking this medication.

Like all medications, Zovia 1/35e may cause side effects in some women. Common side effects may include nausea, breast tenderness, headaches, and changes in weight. It is important to discuss any concerns or side effects with your healthcare provider.

It is important to note that Zovia 1/35e does not protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs). It is recommended to use additional forms of protection, such as condoms, to reduce the risk of STIs.

If you are considering starting Zovia 1/35e or have any questions about this medication, please consult with your healthcare provider. They can provide personalized recommendations based on your individual health needs and history.
