Hi. I was recently taking a pill called Alesse. The only thing is I had hot
flashes. I'm now taking Mircette. I have not had any problems on this one.
These both have low est. You can go to thier websites to check them out.
Look them up on a search engine for the websites. Alesse is by pfizer and
Mircette is by organon. Hope this helps, Katherine
