A member asked:
Can coc pills, besides those with drospirenone, affect potassium levels? i'm on generess fe.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Progestins: Yes. There are other progestin a in COCs that can affect potassium levels. However the COC you are taking contains norethindrone, which is a first generation progestin and unlikely to affect your potassium levels.
