A member asked:
Are low dose birth control pills less effective than high dose ones? (i was switched to junel fe 1/20 after having problems with a higher dose pill)
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Not if you take them regularly. If you are extremely overweight there is data that low dose birth control is not as effective.
