A member asked:
Is lo loestrin just as effective as other birth control?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Almost: The lower dose birth control pills can have a slightly higher failure rate. Generally the compliance with taking the pill is more important than the specific estrogen and Progesterone doses.
