Similar, lower dose: Both medications are composed of levonorgestrel and ethinyl estradiol. The levlen (ethinyl estradiol and levonorgestrel) ed has 150 mcg of levonorgestrel and 30 mcg of the ethinyl estradiol. The femme tab 20/100 has 100 mcg of levonorgestrel and 20 mcg of the ethinyl estradiol. Both work the same way, by inhibiting ovulation, and perhaps by changing cervical mucus and making the uterine lining less hospitable to implantation.
