Question 4

can minocycline and levora (ethinyl estradiol and levonorgestrel) be taken simultaneously? will the effects lessen if i am taking both?

Accepted Answer

Antibiotics and bcp: Birth control pills can be affected by some antibiotics, but the effect is to lessen their absorption, so if you are not bleeding/spotting your bcp's are still effective and can be taken along with Minocin (minocycline) (a tetracycline).  If you are spotting, the pill may statistically be less effective, but the odds on pregnancy are still very low.

Question 6

Side effect of birth: Depending on what you are feeling, the start of a birth control pill may create some nausea or other stomach concerns.  Physically you may experience breast tenderness.

Question 7

i have been on levlen (ethinyl estradiol and levonorgestrel) for 20 months or so and i have just decided to get off it yesterday. what side effects will i get?

Accepted Answer

Finish pack first: When a woman wants to stop bcp i recommend she finish out the pack she is on.  If she stops in the middle of the pack she'll have a period then.  Most women take 4-6 weeks to get back to their regular periods.  Of course you will go back to how your cycles were before bcp - may be heavier and more painful.  Don't forget to use another method of birth control if sexually active!

Question 8

will a low dose bcp give me less side effects than a high dose pill as i have tried levlen (ethinyl estradiol and levonorgestrel) ed but had mood swings will femme20/100 be better ?
