Does Loestrin Cause Chronic Urticaria?
I started taking Loestrin 24Fe in April and want to know if it is the cause of the chronic uticaria that my allergist diagnosed me with. I don't know how common it is to have allergies to birth control, but scratch tests show that I am allergic to pollen, ragweed, pet dander, etc.

Thank you for the question.If loestrin24fe is agravating or bringing in urticaria try allegra 120 mg once a day for 5 days. It would be advisable to undergo implanon implant for long term birth control for 3 years instead of loestrin, however consult your gynecs/obstetrician for more details about implanon/explanon implant
