Women's Health
Recent studies from the National Institute on Aging have pointed to a variety of safe and commonly available substances that may be protective against age related health problems in women. Two of these are Vitamin E and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen. Further, evidence of Estrogen Replacement Therapy's (ERT) protective effect adds another element to what scientists hope will be an arsenal of substances that could delay or prevent the onset of Alzheimer's and other diseases.
ALESSE
Levonorgestrel - ethinyl estradiol is a progestin (levonorgestrel) and estrogen (ethinyl estradiol) combination birth control pill used for the prevention of pregnancy. The ingredients of the medication work by preventing ovulation (the release of an egg from an ovary) and causing changes in the mucus of the cervix which make it difficult for sperm to penetrate and for an egg to implant. This medication may also be taken to treat acne in women 14 years of age and older or to regulate the menstrual cycle.
Alesse is also effective as an emergency contraceptive.

SEASONALE
Ethinyl estradiol and levonorgestrel are hormones that affect the ovulatory and menstrual cycle of women. Ethinyl estradiol and levonorgestrel prevent ovulation (the release of an egg from an ovary), therefore preventing the possibility of pregnancy. Seasonale may also inhibit pregnancy by causing the cervical mucous to thicken, which makes it harder for sperm to move toward the uterus, and reducing the likelihood of attachment of a fertilized egg to the uterus.

YASMIN
Traditionally, oral contraceptives (OCs) have had very similar progestins. Even recently developed progestins have all had structures resembling androgens until now.
YASMIN is the only OC with the novel, dual-property progestin, drospirenone the only progestin that has AntiMineralocorticoid and AntiAndrogenic* properties. Drospirenone represents a unique class of progestins with an entirely different molecular structure and activity profile than the currently available progestins. Drospirenone is an analogue of spironolactone.
