Tril mil is a brand name for a birth control pill [1]. It is a combination oral contraceptive containing the active ingredients ethinyl estradiol and levonorgestrel [2]. These hormones work by preventing ovulation, thickening cervical mucus to block sperm, and thinning the uterine lining [1].
What are the active ingredients in Tril mil?
Tril mil contains ethinyl estradiol, an estrogen, and levonorgestrel, a progestin [2]. These are common hormones used in many birth control pills [1].
How does Tril mil prevent pregnancy?
Tril mil prevents pregnancy through a multi-pronged approach. It stops the ovaries from releasing an egg each month (ovulation). It also makes the cervical mucus thicker, which makes it harder for sperm to reach the egg. Finally, it thins the lining of the uterus, making it less likely for a fertilized egg to implant [1].
Are there different versions or generics of Tril mil?
As of the information available, Tril mil is a specific brand name. However, like many medications, it may have generic equivalents that contain the same active ingredients and are used for the same purpose [2].
