A member asked:

Switching from nortrel 777 birth control to drospirenone. been on nortrel for 3 months. another doc on here just said it has higher risks. my doc is switching me because of my age (37). do i need to switch? nortrel can make me moody, but works well.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Switch: The switch is being recommended because there are pills that have lower doses of estrogen and progesterone that are available. The choice is ultimately yours.
