A member asked:
Do you have to take lo loestrin fe every 24 hours for it to be effective?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, needs to be: Consistent. If you are starting from scratch, begin Loestrin 24 Fe on day 1 of period or on 1st sunday after day 1. Use white tab x 24 days & then brown tab x 4 days. If you start on a sunday – use back up protection until you have taken the white pill x 7 straight days.
