What is Zoely?
Zoely is a modern combination pill that differs from other pills by their active ingredients: It contains estradiol instead of synthetic ethinylestradiol. Estradiol is identical to the body's own estrogen.
The contained gestagen nomegestrol acetate is according to the natural progesterone. This combination should enable a particularly natural hormonal contraception.
