Cyclessa Side Effects, and Overdose Information

Cyclessa is used to prevent pregnancy, regulate menstrual periods as well as in the treatment of acne in women 15 and older. Main ingredients in Cyclessa are Estrogen (low dose) + Progestin (high dose). Cyclessa is a synthetic form of female sex hormones produced naturally in the body, progestin, and estrogen. These hormones suppress the pituitary glands activity thus hindering ovulation; alter the mucus at the cervix opening to prevent sperm from entering, and their variable levels play a vital role in fertility in women. Cyclessa for acne is taken just as it would be for contraception.
