Is Annovera hormone-free?

What is Annovera, and is it hormone-free?

No. Annovera is not hormone-free. It contains hormones used to prevent pregnancy: segesterone acetate and ethinyl estradiol [1].

Why people might think it’s “hormone-free”

Some birth-control options are non-hormonal (for example, a copper IUD), but Annovera is a hormonal contraceptive delivered through a vaginal ring [1].

What hormones Annovera uses

Annovera releases two active hormone components over time—segesterone acetate and ethinyl estradiol—so it is considered hormonal contraception [1].

Is there any “low hormone” or hormone-free version?

Based on the provided information, Annovera itself is not hormone-free and uses the hormones listed above [1].
