- How Camrese Works?
Camrese is effective because it works in three ways. First, it prevents sperm from reaching the egg by thickening the cervical mucus. Then it creates a thin uterine wall so any eggs that are fertilized by sperm don't attach and instead pass through the body. Finally, it prevents ovulation, so there are no eggs to fertilize anyway.Patients need to take this pill at the same time every day for it to be effective. They also need to store Camrese in a cool, dry place where the pills won't get damaged.
- How to Get Camrese?
Camrese is widely available in most pharmacies across the United States. This birth control pill is fairly affordable and is mostly, if not entirely, covered by health insurance.
