Duoluton L Tablets combine Ethinyl Estradiol and Levonorgestrel, synthetic versions of estrogen and progestin, respectively. This combination oral contraceptive is primarily used for birth control and also prescribed for various hormonal disorders including irregular menstrual cycles, amenorrhea, and certain cases of endometriosis or hormonal imbalance. Duoluton L works by preventing ovulation and creating changes in cervical mucus and the endometrium, making it harder for sperm to reach the uterus or for a fertilized egg to implant.
