A member asked:

My dr. prescribed me loestrin 1/20 but the pharmacy gave me microgestin1/20(generic?). is this ok? or should i take it back. it's my 1st time on bc.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It's ok: The generic has the exact same hormones in the exact same amounts as the brand loestrin does. I've dispensed much more microgestin than loestrin, and haven't had any complaints about it, so i would feel perfectly comfortable using it in place of the brand loestrin.
