Xulane contains a combination of female hormones that prevent ovulation (the release of an egg from an ovary). Xulane 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.

Xulane (skin patch) is used as contraception to prevent pregnancy.

Xulane may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
