Enpresse

Enpresse is a generic birth control pill that is available by prescription only. It is a combined oral contraceptive that prevents pregnancy by stopping ovulation and altering the lining of the uterus and cervical mucus. Enpresse is a triphasic pill, meaning each pack contains three different "phases" of tablets (each with different amounts of hormones). Potential side effects include breast tenderness, acne, and breakthrough bleeding.
