and Information |

|
Loestrin Fe is a low dose birth control pill
created specifically for women in their forties. Like other
birth control pills it works by suppressing or stopping
ovulation. This works to prevent pregnancy. But in perimenopause
it's effective in regulating the hormonal highs and lows
of ovulation and perimenopause. It decreases and even eliminates
many of the bothersome symptoms of perimenopause; hot flashes,
sleeping troubles, mood swings and irritability to name
a few. It also works to keep the vaginal area moist and
receptive thereby preventing loss of sexual drive and pleasure.
The package price includes medication and physician consultation but does not include shipping costs.
Your credit card will have two (2) charges - one from Virtual Medical Group and one from Medical Web.
