Loestrin vs Alesse From: Amanda (anonymous@obgyn.net) Sat, 17 Mar 2001 09:35:48 -0600 (CST) Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: bobby: "lipid profile" Previous message: Nancy: "endo physicians in st.

I've had good success with Loestrin, have been unhappy with the price increases. I found a Canadian pharmacy that did not carry Loestrin, but said that Alesse had the same composition at half the cost. SO, I ordered 3 mos worth of Alesse. But now when I examine the documentation it looks like the two drugs are composed differently. Alesse has 100 mg of levonorgestrel and 20 mg of ethinyl estradiol; loestrin has 1 mg of norethindrone acetate and 20 MCG of ethinyl estradiol. Am I missing something? It looks to me like these are very different drugs...maybe I'll have to stick with these horrible US drug companies. -- Amanda Next message: bobby: "lipid profile" Previous message: Nancy: "endo physicians in st.
