Lybrel (ethinyl estradiol and levonorgestrel) contains a combination of female hormones that prevent ovulation (the release of female hormones that prevent ovulation (the release of an egg from an ovary). Lybrel 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.

Lybrel is used as contraception to prevent pregnancy.
