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

Quartette is used as contraception to prevent pregnancy.

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