Why Does Rigevidon Cause Skin Breakouts?

For the second time my doctor has given me rigevidon instead of microgynon. The first time this happened I had different side effects (spots, weight gain, mood swings). They changed me back to microgynon. A different doctor has just prescribed me rigevidon again without telling me. I have given it a go and am breaking out in spots like a teenager and have put on 5lbs in weight with no lifestyle change.I amass having horrible headaches. If they are exactly the same as they say, why am I having these side effects.?

Hi,

These medications interact with the particular chemistry of the patient. It is the usual case that even slightly different formulations have drastically different outcomes on toleration. How much hormone one has, how the liver metabolizes it, how much and how fast it gets in, these all vary widely between individuals and so one should have stuck with the one that worked.

The same chemical is packaged differently and its absorption varies even if the same total amount gets in the shape of how it gets in changes things. a lot.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
