Hello,I have been prescribed levest as a contraceptive pill. I have hear a lot of bad reviews about it. Many people complained about head aches mood swings and acne. I am a bit scared now to start taking it. What would you recomend? Is microgynon 30 better? Should I ask my doctor to change the prescription. How common are these side effects?
Hi, Levest and Microgynon 30 contain the same hormones. There is no difference between the two contraceptive pills. Both pills cause same kind of side effects like headache, mood swings etc. This does not mean that all ladies who use these pills get these side effects. Only some women may suffer these side effects. These side effects often disappear after the first few months of use. So you can safely start using livest. If you still feel worried, you can start using Microgynon 30. I repeat that both pills contain same hormones. The only difference is that they are manufactured by different companies. I hope I have answered your concerns.
