Hello, i'm 44 years old and i just started taking lo loestrin fe. is it safe for me? i have cramping and don't want hair loss or weight gain
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It is safe: It is safe but you can gain weight but much less than other birth control pills, and as far we know it does not cause hair loss but the opposite, cramping is side effect and well tolerated by most.
