A member asked:

What is the difference between levlen and levora (ethinyl estradiol and levonorgestrel) bc pill..which one is effective to stop period??

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Both: Both products can cause cessation of the period. Ask your gyn how to taper down the blanks if you're on a 28 pill pack, so you can go to continuous hormone use for the most likely way to eliminate your cycle.
