Safely Buy Loestrin 28 Day ( Norethindrone/Ethinyl Estradiol ) from Canada Prescriptions Plus.


Loestrin 24 Fe is a Birth Control Pill that consists of 24 hormone pills, and 4 non-hormonal iron supplement pills. Loestrin 24 Fe contains a lower dose of estrogenic hormones than most birth control pills. It prevents pregnancy by providing hormones that control ovulation, and other related changes in the body that occur in preparation for a pregnancy. Loestrin 24 Fe contains only 4 non-hormonal pills per package as opposed to 7 in regular packages of birth control. This means that on Loestrin 24 Fe, menstrual periods are shorter and bleeding is much lighter. Studies have found that low-dose birth control pills are much safer than higher dose pills. With low-dose pills there are fewer, less severe side effects.
