Zovia 1/35

Zovia 1/35 is a combination birth control pill that works to prevent ovulation while changing your cervical mucus to block sperm. Additionally, this pill creates a thin uterine wall, so any fertilized eggs can’t latch on and pass through, preventing pregnancy. Zovia 1/35 is one of more than 100 available birth control pills that we offer, which means you can find the right prescription for your needs. Our team at Nurx can prescribe Zovia 1/35 for as low as $0 with insurance or as little as $15 without insurance.
