How does ethinylestradiol work in Maexeni?+
Ethinylestradiol binds to estrogen receptors, contributing to suppression of the hypothalamic‑pituitary‑gonadal axis. This action, together with levonorgestrel, prevents the mid‑cycle luteinizing hormone surge, blocks ovulation, and promotes cervical mucus thickening and endometrial changes that hinder sperm penetration and implantation.

The specific dose and regimen of Maexeni are determined by the prescribing clinician based on the product’s labeling and the patient’s individual health profile. Patients should follow the schedule provided by their healthcare professional and not alter the regimen without medical advice.
