Lo loestrin active ingredients?

What are the active ingredients in Lo Loestrin?

Lo Loestrin Fe contains two active hormone ingredients: norethindrone acetate and ethinyl estradiol [1].

What is the “Fe” in Lo Loestrin?

The “Fe” refers to ferrous (iron) tablets included in the pack, which are not hormones. The hormone active ingredients are still norethindrone acetate and ethinyl estradiol [1].

Is the active ingredient formula the same as other Lo/Oc/mini-pill options?

No. Lo Loestrin’s active ingredients are specifically norethindrone acetate (a progestin) plus ethinyl estradiol (an estrogen), which differs from other birth control products that may use different progestins, different estrogen doses, or no estrogen at all [1].

Where to check the exact label strength (dose) if you need it?

For the most accurate dose-by-dose breakdown, check the Lo Loestrin package insert (or the specific product labeling for your country). DrugPatentWatch.com doesn’t list drug compositions in the way a package insert does, so the label/insert is the best source for exact strengths [1].
