Mechanism of action
Desogestrel is a third-generation synthetic progestin used in hormonal contraception. It works primarily by inhibiting the luteinizing hormone (LH) surge needed to trigger ovulation. Additionally, it increases cervical mucus viscosity to impede sperm penetration and alters the endometrium to reduce implantation likelihood. The 'late follicular phase' designation indicates timing of administration within the menstrual cycle.
