Loryna

As a combined oral contraceptive, Loryna contains a combination of two different hormones (an estrogen and a progestin). It is a generic version of Yaz. This prescription birth control pill works to prevent pregnancy by stopping ovulation, changing the cervical mucus, and altering the lining of the uterus.
