Overview

**Effimia** is an Italian fixed-dose, monophasic combined oral contraceptive containing **norgestimate 0.250 mg** and **ethinylestradiol 0.035 mg** in each of 21 active tablets, accompanied by 7 inactive placebo tablets per 28-day pack. Norgestimate is a progestin with low androgenic activity and, together with the synthetic estrogen ethinylestradiol, suppresses ovulation, increases cervical-mucus viscosity, and produces endometrial changes that reduce the likelihood of fertilization and implantation. It is authorized for female contraception and marketed by Italfarmaco. ([api.aifa.gov.it](https://api.aifa.gov.it/aifa-bdf-eif-be/1.0.0/organizzazione/68/farmaci/47880/stampati?ts=RCP))
