Aranelle (birth control)

What is Aranelle?

Aranelle is a birth control pill that contains women's hormones that block the ovulation process (the release of eggs from the ovary). The medication can also cause changes in the cervical mucus and the lining of your uterus, making it difficult for sperm to enter the uterus as well as making it harder for fertilised eggs to get attached to the uterus.Aranelle is used as a contraceptive to avoid pregnancy. Aranelle can also be used to treat mild acne in women who are at least 15 years old, are beginning their menstrual period, and want to use birth hormone pills to control their periods. There are numerous varieties of ethinyl estradiol as well as norethindrone. The brands mentioned are not all available in this leaflet.Aranelle is also employed for reasons not mentioned in this medication guide.
