A member asked:
Why would my doctor put me on alesse?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ask your MD: Given the limited information in the question, Alesse is a 20 mcg Estradiol combination oral contraceptive used for contraception, cycle control, dysmenorrhea, and other uses. It is best to ask your doctor why he/she prescribed this medication.
