Don’t do it. I should’ve listened to the reviews. I specially went to Hers because I lost my insurance after my show ended (film strike) and needed my birth control refill. I told them I needed LoLo (Loestrin Fe) birth control because it’s the only birth control I’ve ever liked. They said and I quote that they were giving me “Loestrin Fe 1/20 with iron 20 mcg-1 mg tablet Effective Date: May 9, 2023” I go to pick up and it’s a generic brand called “Blisovi FE” that gave me terrible headaches and mood swings. I tell them there must’ve been a mistake and they try to tell me that’s they’re basically the same:
“Blisovi FE 1/20 and Loestrin Fe 1/20 are both combination birth control pills that contain the same active ingredients, including norethindrone acetate 1 mg, ethinyl estradiol 0.02 mg, and ferrous fumarate 75 mg.
Both medications work in the same way to prevent pregnancy by inhibiting ovulation and thickening cervical mucus to prevent sperm from reaching the egg. They are also used to regulate menstrual cycles and treat symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS).“
Should be illegal. They literally told me I’m getting one medication and give me the wrong one. I try to ask them to change it and they can’t they just took my money, told me they’re give me something I didn’t want.
