Which Contraceptive Pills Are Similar To Loestrin?

Hi, please could you tell me which female contraceptive pills that are available in Australia are most similar to Loestrin 20? I have been on Loestrin 20 for several years but have just moved to Australia and it is unavailable here. As far as I am aware it does not have the usual amount on Oestrogen in it. I have had no side effects with this particular pill but many with other pills, so I m looking for an alternative that is as similar as possible. Thank you!

Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Loestrin 20 should be available in Australia. Loestrin 20 consists of a combination of ethinylestradiol and norethisterone. In case you do not get the contraceptive pill with the name of Loestrin 20 you can try other variants having the same chemical composition(ethinylestradiol and norethisterone). I think you will be comfortable with it. If you are not please consult a doctor.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
