Suggest Generic Brand Or Less Expensive Brand Of Birth Control

I am 19yrs. old and just started taking birth control pills. I have no "female problems". My Dr. put me on Lo Loestrin FE 1-10. This medication is too expensive for me is there a generic brand or another brand that is just as effective but, less expensive.

hello dear.
understand your concern.
birth control pills contain 2 hormone esrogen & progesteron,some tablet contain any one hormone & some has combination.
you can take it ny this generic name estogen(ethiylestradiol) & progesteron(norgesterel,norethisterone,levonorgesterel,desogesrel,noroethindrone).
you can take combo or only one hormone pill.all are preety good effective.
some brands are so cheap like mala D,mala N ,ovral,ovral L,femilon,duoluton,diane 35,yasmin....

your age is less,according to me you should not to use this tablets long term ,their are option like diapharam,or try to convince your partner to use condoms its better for your future.

hope this will help you.
