About Agile
Therapeutics, Inc.Agile
Therapeutics is a women's healthcare company dedicated to
fulfilling the unmet health needs of today’s women. Our product and
product candidates are designed to provide women with contraceptive
options that offer freedom from taking a daily pill, without
committing to a longer-acting method. Our initial product, Twirla®,
(levonorgestrel and ethinyl estradiol), a transdermal system, is a
non-daily prescription contraceptive. Twirla is based on our
proprietary transdermal patch technology, called Skinfusion®, which
is designed to allow drug delivery through the skin. For more
information, please visit the company website at
www.agiletherapeutics.com. The Company may
occasionally disseminate material, nonpublic information on the
Company’s website and LinkedIn account.
About Twirla®Twirla
(levonorgestrel and ethinyl estradiol) transdermal system is a
once-weekly combined hormonal contraceptive (CHC) patch that
contains the active ingredients levonorgestrel (LNG), a type of
progestin, and ethinyl estradiol (EE), a type of estrogen. Twirla
is indicated for use as a method of contraception by women of
reproductive potential with a body mass index (BMI) < 30 kg/m2
for whom a combined hormonal contraceptive is appropriate.
Healthcare providers (HCPs) are encouraged to consider Twirla’s
reduced efficacy in women with a BMI ≥ 25 to <30 kg/m2 before
prescribing. Twirla is contraindicated in women with a BMI ≥ 30
kg/m2. Twirla is also contraindicated in women over 35 years old

Cigarette smoking increases the risk of serious cardiovascular
events from CHC use. Twirla is designed to be applied once weekly
for three weeks, followed by a week without a patch.
