MALA D is a combined oral contraceptive that contains Levonorgestrel, Ferrous Fumarate, and Ethinyl Estradiol. Levonorgestrel is a progestin hormone that prevents pregnancy by inhibiting ovulation and altering the cervical mucus consistency, making it difficult for sperm to reach the uterus. Ethinyl Estradiol is a synthetic estrogen that works by suppressing the release of certain hormones involved in the menstrual cycle. Ferrous Fumarate provides supplemental iron to prevent iron deficiency anemia commonly associated with menstrual bleeding.
