Velivet

What is Velvet?

Velivet is a birth control medication that contains feminine hormones that block the process of ovulation (the release of eggs from the ovary). Velivet can also cause changes to the cervical mucus and the lining of your uterus, making it more difficult for sperm cells to enter the uterus and for fertilized eggs to get attached to the uterus.

Velivet is used to stop pregnancy. There are a variety of brands of this medicine on the market. Some brands are not included in this leaflet.Velvet could be used for other purposes not covered in this guideline.
