Is annovera a hormonal contraceptive?

Is Annovera (segesterone acetate and ethinyl estradiol) a hormonal contraceptive?

Yes. Annovera is a hormonal contraceptive. It’s a combined estrogen-progestin contraceptive delivered as a vaginal ring that releases segesterone acetate and ethinyl estradiol to help prevent pregnancy [1].

How does Annovera work compared with other birth control pills or rings?

Annovera uses the same broad approach as combined oral contraceptives: it releases hormones that prevent ovulation and also changes the reproductive tract environment to reduce the chance of pregnancy [1]. Unlike many daily pills, it’s a ring inserted vaginally for contraception.

Is it “hormonal” or “non-hormonal” birth control?

Annovera is not non-hormonal. It contains active hormones (segesterone acetate and ethinyl estradiol) and is classified as a combined hormonal contraceptive [1].

Does Annovera contain estrogen?

Yes. Annovera includes ethinyl estradiol, an estrogen, along with the progestin segesterone acetate [1].
