What is Alesse?
Alesse contains a combination of female hormones that prevent ovulation (the release of an egg from an ovary). Alesse also causes changes in your cervical mucus and uterine lining, making it harder for sperm to reach the uterus and harder for a fertilized egg to attach to the uterus.
Alesse are used as contraception to prevent pregnancy.
Alesse may also be used for other purposes not listed in this medication guide.
