Loestrin and Loestrin Fe are quite similar, but there is a minor difference between both of them. They are both made by Duramed Pharmaceuticals. Loestrin is a birth control pill that contains estrogen and progestin. Loestrin includes 21 pills that contain hormones and seven pills without hormone.

This medication is to be taken every day. Loestrin Fe is similar to Loestrin in that it is also birth control pills that contain estrogen and progestin. However, Loestrin contains 21 pills with hormones and seven pills that contain iron. I hope you find this information helpful.
