GlossaryNorgestimate

synthetic progestin used in hormonal contraceptives

Norgestimate is a synthetic progestin commonly used in combination with estrogen in hormonal contraceptives. It works by mimicking the hormone progesterone, helping to regulate ovulation and menstrual cycles, and is often chosen for its relatively low androgenic activity, which can reduce side effects like acne and hair loss.
