Zovia 1/50 is a combination birth control pill containing female hormones that prevent ovulation (the release of an egg from an ovary). Zovia 1/50 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.

Zovia 1/50 is used to prevent pregnancy.

Zovia 1/50 may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
