Is Loette A Good Option For Acne And Weight Control?
Hi, I ve been on the BCP Yasmin for many years now without any issues. There seems to be an alarming amount of controversy about this pill now. Friends keep telling me I MUST change but do I need to? I feel if there was a serious issue it would be recalled or stopped being sold? Since reading about Yasmin I probably do have side effects such as tender nipples prior to my period and nervousness, which seems to be getting worse. If this is because of the pill I d like to change. I went to my doctor and she gave me Loette. I m aprehensive to change as I do not want to gain weight or have mood swings. The more I read about Yasmin the more I think I should change. What should I do and is Loette a good option to keep weight and acne at bay?

Hi,
I can Understand your concern for acne and weight control. The query provides too little of the details so that we can guide you best according to your concern. I request you to kindly elaborate your concern in terms of your age, sex and occupation along with compete medical history.
IN general all the pills you have told are good hormonal pills and are good options for acne. Some of the time these hormonal pills can cause weight gain if are containing high progesterone.
It is better to ask your treating or prescribing doctor to know which hormonal pill is containing less of progesterone.
All the best.
Take care.
