Yes: They both contain the same same hormones in the same dosage. Different brands of the same pill. The 21 active yellow pills in both, contain 1 mg of norethindrone acetate (progesterone) and 20 mcg of ethinyl estradiol (estrogen). The 7 inactive brown pills contain 75 mg of ferrous fumarate (iron).

A member asked:

Before starting BC, my cycle was 32 days. I've been using Lo Loestrin Fe for 4 months and haven't had a period (can't be pregnant, haven't been sexually active). Does the lack of a period mean lo loestrin might be less effective as a contraceptive?
