Is going low right for you?Lo Loestrin® Fe is the only available prescription birth control pill that has just 10 micrograms of daily estrogen, and it’s highly effective at preventing pregnancy.1 It also can give women short, lighter periods.1,2

Lo Loestrin Fe is an ultra–low-dose pill that can be a good option for many women who are looking for effective pregnancy prevention with a lower dose of estrogen. On average, women will spend about 30 years trying to avoid an unintended pregnancy at different times during their reproductive years.3 With just 10 micrograms of daily estrogen,1 Lo Loestrin Fe may reduce your exposure to estrogen throughout those reproductive years.

What’s in Lo Loestrin Fe?Lo Loestrin Fe contains a unique low-dose combination of 2 female hormones. The hormones are an estrogen called ethinyl estradiol and a progestin called norethindrone acetate.1

How many of the pills contain hormones?Ultra–low-dose Lo Loestrin Fe has 26 days of “active” pills that contain hormone(s) and 2 days of “reminder” pills that do not contain hormones.1 These types of pills are sometimes called extended-regimen pills. Birth control pills that have more active pills and less non-hormonal pills can lessen the chance that you will ovulate (release an egg) during your cycle.6

What will my periods be like?Lo Loestrin Fe can give women short, lighter periods. Most women had a period that lasted less than 2 days per cycle on average. Plus, most women taking Lo Loestrin Fe had periods that were lighter than normal.1,2

What about bleeding and spotting between my periods?It’s not uncommon to have some bleeding and spotting between periods. Your body needs time to adjust to your pill, which can take a few months. Most women taking Lo Loestrin Fe had a low rate of bleeding and spotting between periods. And, after the first few months, the frequency of the bleeding and spotting between periods decreased.1,2

What about side effects?Lo Loestrin Fe was proven to be safe for women. In a clinical study, changes in weight and moods occurred at low rates for women taking Lo Loestrin Fe.1

The most common side effects reported by women taking Lo Loestrin Fe were nausea/vomiting, headache, and bleeding irregularities.1 These are not all of the possible side effects of Lo Loestrin Fe. For more information, please see the enclosed patient information leaflet.

What if I miss my period?Some women taking Lo Loestrin Fe may miss their period. In a clinical study, about 50% of women experienced a missed period by the end of 1 year.1

If you miss a period, you could be pregnant. However, some women miss their periods or have light periods on birth control pills, even when they are not pregnant. Contact your healthcare provider if you think you are pregnant, miss a period and have not taken your pills every day, or if you miss 2 periods in a row.1

It is preferred that women taking birth control pills choose a pill with lower doses of estrogen. this is because low-dose pills are just as effective and have fewer side effects.4

norethindrone has been used in birth control pills for more than 35 years.5

Birth control pills do not protect you against sexually transmitted disease, including HIV, the virus that causes AIDs.1

If you miss pills you could get pregnant. This includes starting the pill pack late. The more pills you miss, the more likely you are to get pregnant.1

Ready to go low?How do I take Lo Loestrin Fe?First, decide what time of day to take your pill. It’s important that you remember to take your pill at the same time every day and in the order as directed on your pill pack—just follow the arrows.1

Each Lo Loestrin Fe pill pack has 24 “active” blue pills (with hormones) and 2 “active” white pills (with hormones) for Weeks 1, 2, 3, and part of Week 4. The pill pack also has 2 “reminder” brown pills (without hormones) for the last part of Week 4.1

Why are there 2 days of pills with estrogen and no progestin?A clinical study showed that taking estrogen for 2 extra days instead of 2 additional reminder pills can make a woman’s period short and lighter than normal.1,2

If you have more questions about how to take Lo Loestrin Fe, see the enclosed patient information leaflet.

Like other birth control pills, you take a Lo Loestrin Fe pill every day, for 28 days, until the pack is empty. Then you start a new pill pack. The brown pills keep you in the habit of taking a pill every day and help remind you that it’s time to start a new pack.1
