A member asked:

Which is better cerazette or micronor (norethindrone) (birth control pills)?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Neither one: Both pills contain a progestin only, no estrogen. Cerazette has desogestrel, Micronor norethindrone in it. It depends on the individual women, which pill she will tolerate better.
