DESOGESTREL AND ETHINYL ESTRADIOL vs NORETHINDRONE ACETATE AND ETHINYL ESTRADIOL AND FERROUS FUMARATE

I made a post about this last week but some new stuff has happened and I didn’t really get a lot of help the first time. I (20 afab) have been on the pill for years, I take it continuously. That means that I skip the placebos and go straight to the next pack. This stops me from getting a period (wh

Hi, I (26F) have been taking the pill for years but still have many questions about how it works and with Covid it’s very difficult to find someone to ask where I live. Because I am very sensitive to hormonal changes and imbalances (it triggers my OCD) my family doctor at the time and a gynaecologis

Hi. I have a hypertension related issue regarding my mother. The main reason why I have decided to take a second opinion here, is because the country we live in has famously incompetent and irresponsible doctors, who over-prescribe certain medications without thorough check-up. She is 53 years old,

I work in Europe and when visiting this subreddit, I'm surprised how strict the retail pharmacy sector seems to be in the US. Counting pills, for example. In my country, we use blisters. The patient needs 14 actual pills, but the smallest package has 28? Just give them 28 then. Dispensing single tab

Patient of a certain age, let’s call her Karen. She was rx ator 40 and metf 500 as a new patient from a local and well respected PCP MD.

Imagine going to urgent care with whatever bullshit needed this script...

Hello all! Like the title says, I have a new job with new health insurance and the pill I've been taking for the last 9 years (Minastrin 24 FE) is no longer covered on my new plan. I had GREAT results with Minastrin - no mood changes, no weight gain, libido unaffected, no more periods - so I am very
