Reduce side effects of contraceptive pills (cheers in the gallery!) Led to the reduction of the amount of synthetic hormones, estrogen and progestin, they contained and the development of "new generation" pills low dose birth. "Low dose 'will not make much sense for you if you do not know what the term refers to whether the basic information below May help.
How far can I go with the dose of hormone ingredients to be always effective in preventing pregnancy?
Good question, not all pills contain exactly the same amount of estrogen and progestin. I thought a reference would be useful for you a list of low-dose and ultra low dose pills, so you can at least discuss the pros and cons with your doctor and see if you are a good candidate to move from say, a low dose of 0.035 mg estrogen pill down to an ultra low dose 0.020mg estrogen pill. You may find you experience fewer or reduced side effects. Brands generic pills low dose of birth control are also available.
Birth control pills with the lowest amount of estrogen, which is 0.02 mg of estrogen (usually ethinyl estradiol) are classified as "ultra contraceptive pills in low doses. 0.020 mg of estrogen is sufficient for contraception but side effects of stains and bleeding are more common with these types of pills at a very low dose birth than low-dose pills containing 0.030mg or 0.035 mg of estrogen.
Here are some brand names of ultra "low dose" pill on the market, you will find mai a generic version on line now that you know what is the amount of estrogen to search. The estrogen component is indicated first and the progestin component second.
- Alesse (Aviane, Lessin, Lutera, Sronyx) contains 0.02 mg ethinyl estradiol and 0.1 mg levonorgestrel
- Mircette contains 0.02 mg ethinyl estradiol and 0.15 mg desogestrel
Pills containing 0.02 mg-0.035mg.of estrogens are classified as "low dose" pills. Here are some brand names "low dose" pills contraceptive:
- LoOvral contains 0.03 mg ethinyl estradiol and 0.3 mg and nogestrel
- Nordette contains 0.03 mg ethinyl estradiol and 0.15 mg levognorgestrel
- Ortho-Cept (Reclipsen, Solia) contains 0.03 mg ethinyl estradiol and 0.15 mg desogestrel

- Levlen21 contains 0.03 mg ethinyl estradiol and 0.15 mg levonorgestrel
- Seasonale / Seasonique contain 0.03mg of ethinyl estradiol and 0.15 mg levonorgestrel
If you are a fan of triphasic pills, here are those low dose: Cyclessa
Phase 1: ethinyl estradiol 0.025 mg and 0.1 mg desogestrel
Phase 2: ethinyl estradiol 0.025 mg desogestrel and 0.125 mg
Phase 3: ethinyl estradiol 0.025 mg and 0.15 mg desogestrel
In a study of 5654 women over six menstrual cycles, some used the popular triphasic Ortho-Novum 7/7/7 and others used Cyclessa. It was found that women who had used Cyclessa significantly less breakthrough bleeding or spotting and had a mean weight loss of 4lbs. compared to an average weight gain of 2lbs. with those who took Ortho-Novum 7/7/7.
Ortho Tricyclen Lo: 3 types of pills in the pack
- Each tablet White contains 0.025 mg ethinyl estradiol and 0.180 mg norgestimate
- Each light blue tablet contains 0.025 mg ethinyl estradiol and 0.215 mg norgestimate
- Each dark blue tablet contains 0.025 mg ethinyl estradiol and 0.250 mg norgestimate
(Ortho Tricyclen and Ortho-Cyclen, each with 0.035 mg of ethinyl estradiol, contain slightly higher amounts of estrogen in each type of pill than Ortho Tricyclen Lo)
Yasmin and Yaz are two other pills low birth dose containing 0.03 mg and 0.02 mg respectively
estrogen but have a different type of progestin other pills called drospirenone (3.0 mg). On the negative side, since Yasmin / Yaz can increase levels of potassium, it is not recommended for women in the liver, adrenal glands or kidney, but on the positive side, Yasmin / Yaz, appear to reduce bloating and water retention, then, and in some women gives a sense welfare. These pills also have an audience among acne sufferers because they seem to improve the condition of the skin in a lot of cases.As many other types of birth control pills, Yasmin may not be appropriate for you if you also take other over-the-counter pain relievers, potassium-sparing diuretics, potassium supplements or specific medications so you MUST check this with a doctor first.
Nursing Moms
You've heard of the "mini-pill" (progestin only pill or POP), which is usually prescribed for women who are breastfeeding or who have an intolerance to estrogen. A "mini pill" can be started immediately after childbirth or abortion. There is no 7 days break or dummy pills as there is with the combined pill and must be taken at the same time each day. Micronor contains 0.35 mg norethindrone and no estrogen whatsoever. In other countries the following brand names: Microlut 28 Microval 28 Locilan 28 and Noriday.
Pills that contain high amounts estrogen and progestin are used for emergency contraception known as the "morning after pill or Plan B. A common pill is Preven-each Blue film coated pill contains Levonorgestrel 0.25 mg and 0.05 mg (MG not micrograms) of estrogen – usually you take 2 doses at 12 hours.
