What is Kelnor?
Kelnor is a birth control medication that contains feminine hormones that prevent the ovulation process (the release of eggs from the ovary). Kelnor is also a cause of changes in the cervical mucus and the lining of your uterus, making it more difficult for sperm to get into the uterus and for fertilized eggs to get attached in the uterus. Kelnor is a medication used to prevent pregnancy. Kelnor can also be employed for other purposes that are not covered in this guideline.
