What Are The Side Effects Caused After Missing A Dose Of Lo Loestrin Fe?

Hello. I am on lo loestrin fe, have been for a few months, I know I m supposed to take it at the same time everyday, but I sometimes unable to because of my work schedule. So my question is, if I take it and hour or two later or earlier does it make it less effective? And does my weight matter?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,

Usually, it is taken at the same time of day. Even its range varys in blood 4-13 hrs or 19 to 24 hrs. Thus, 1 hour can go up or down but for better outcome, try to follow the same timing. These are fixed dose combinations so weight does not matter unless its obesity [BMI more than 28]. They are more effective if you have a good lifestyle and a stress free life. OMBW meditation course of 'Art of Living' when practiced by women has good health effects of this medicine.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Sunny Madar, General & Family Physician
