Zoely works by combining two hormones, nomegestrol acetate and estradiol, to prevent pregnancy through several mechanisms.

• Prevents ovulation (release of an egg)
• Thickens cervical mucus to block sperm entry
• Alters the uterine lining to reduce implantation likelihood
• Provides cycle control with predictable bleeding patterns

For maximum effectiveness, Zoely must be taken at the same time every day.
