I use this pill as a method of birth control, as well as means to deal with painful periods associated with endometriosis. It does take the pain down by over half, as well as excellently controls my acne. I do, however, experience occasional nausea and random spotting in between periods. A little irritating but much more preferable to the debilitating pain I've dealt with since I hit puberty.

Needed just a typical birth control. I've been using this brand for almost a year now. It's great because my periods are shorter, lighter, and I don't have horrible cramps. On top of that, most of my acne is gone. Pretty happy with this product

Please do not ever take this medication. My new pharmacy carried this brand of generic from my desired Nortrel 7/7/7. I spotted for two weeks after starting this pill and then had a horrific period that consisted of huge blood clots and an amazingly heavy flow. Please stay away from this!
