What is the difference between loestrin 20 and loestrin 24?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Almost the same: LoEstrin 1/20 contains the same dosage of the same ingredients per pill as LoEstrin 24. The difference is that LoEstrin 24 is packaged with 24 active pills and 4 placebo pills, while LoEstrin 1/20 is packaged with 21 active pills and 7 placebos. The shorter placebo phase is supposed to help minimize break through bleeding and slightly improve contraceptive efficacy.
