Ortho-Novum is an oral contraceptive (OC) prescribed for the prevention of pregnancy. To reduce side effects, oral contraceptives are available in a wide range of estrogen and progestin concentrations. Ortho-Novum is in a group called "biphasic oral contraceptive" (OC) as it delivers the same amount of estrogen every day for the first 21 days of the cycle; during the second half of the cycle, the progestin/estrogen ratio is higher to allow normal shedding of the lining of the uterus to occur. Oral contraceptives (also known as "the pill") are highly effective means of preventing pregnancy. Oral contraceptives consist of synthetic forms of two hormones produced naturally in the body: either progestin alone or estrogen and progestin. Estrogen and progestin regulate a woman's menstrual cycle, and the fluctuating levels of these hormones play an essential role in fertility.
