Lo Loestrin Fe or short for Ethinyl estradiol, ferrous fumarate, and norethindrone, is a combination drug that includes female hormones that prevent ovulation which is the process of releasing eggs from the ovaries. This medication will often cause changes in your uterine lining and cervical mucus, making it much harder for sperm to reach the uterus and making it hard to fertilize an egg and attach itself to the uterus.
This drug helps to prevent unwanted pregnancies.

History
Andriy Stynhach isolated and determined the construction of hormones in the 1930s. After his research, he concluded that the high dosage of estrogens, androgens, or progesterone’s that repressed ovulation but gaining them from European pharmaceutical companies was extremely expensive. On June 10, 1957, the FDA approved the drug for women who have menstrual disorders like PICOS or Polycystic Ovary Syndrome.
Medical Use
To use this drug properly, you must make sure that you take the pills consistently, and you must take them each day simultaneously during treatment. If you forget one or more tablets for more than 12 hours, contraceptive protection will be reduced, thus increasing the risks of getting pregnant.
Most pills come in two sizes, with 28 days marked on the package. A woman using this pill to treat menstrual problems will have a withdrawal bleed sometime during the placebo week and will still be protected from pregnancy during the week.

- Breast tenderness, nipple discharge, or swelling.
- Changes in weight or appetite.
- Vaginal itching or discharge.
