Switching From Loestrin 24 Fe To Lomedia (Page 4)
(Newest replies first)

I am one of the customers unhappy with the discontinuation of Loestrin 24 Fe. I saw so many negative reviews with those who switched to Minastrin that I refused to take it despite what my nurse was trying to say. I researched and knew a generic was coming. I have waited since October of last year for Lomedia and picked up my prescription and pills 3 weeks ago. I still haven't taken them because I'd like to know about the experience on these pills. Has anyone taken Lomedia? Please share your experience so we can all be informed.

I'm on the last week of my first pack with lomedia 24 fe. I haven't experienced much changes from the loestrin...however, I still wish they'd bring loestrin 24 back. If anything, I've noticed a little bit of a break out (could be a result of stress) and a little bit of a change in my appetite. Since loestrin 24 has been discontinued, I've tried Minastrin and Junel - BOTH were TERRIBLE!!!! I can safely say that lomedia 24 is nothing like the 2 previous birth controls I've taken and it is definitely the best out of the 3. I haven't had my cycle yet, so I'm hoping it doesn't change much - with loestrin 24, I'm used to an extremely light, 3 day period. With Minastrin and Junel, I cramped and bled for a full week. No thanks! Lomedia is worth a try if you love Loestrin 24.

Hello, Kimmie! How are you?

From what I can find, there is no difference better the Lomedia and LoEstrin FE, the active ingredients and the dosages are the same. The FDA has approved it as a generic equivalent, so you shouldn't have any problems with it.

Has anyone actually tried it, yet?
