Ethinyl estradiol and norgestrel is a combination birth control pill containing female hormones that prevent ovulation (the release of an egg from an ovary). This medication 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.

Ethinyl estradiol and norgestrel is used as contraception to prevent pregnancy.

Ethinyl estradiol and norgestrel may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.

• Generic Name: aspirin / omeprazole

• Other Brand Names: Yosprala

Yosprala contains a combination of aspirin and omeprazole. Aspirin is as platelet aggregation inhibitor. It also reduces substances in the body that cause pain, fever, and inflammation. Omeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor that decreases the amount of acid produced in the stomach.

Yosprala is used to help lower the risk of heart problems, strokes, or death in people who have had certain conditions related to blood clots, including angina (chest pain), a past heart attack, or a stroke or a "mini stroke."

Yosprala is also used in people who have had surgery to improve blood flow to the heart and also have another condition that is already being treated with aspirin.

Omeprazole helps reduce the risk of stomach ulcers that may be caused by aspirin, especially in people who are 55 or older, or those who have had stomach ulcers in the past.
