Norgestrel is a synthetic progestin hormone used as a contraceptive. Some synonyms for this medication include levonorgestrel, gestodene, and desogestrel. These medications work by preventing ovulation, thickening cervical mucus, and altering the lining of the uterus. Levonorgestrel is a common generic form of norgestrel and is also used in emergency contraception pills.

It is important to consult with a healthcare provider to determine the appropriate form of birth control and dosage for individual needs and health considerations.
