Birth Control/cost of birth control

Expert: - 10/24/2006


Question
I am currently on and have been for some years Estrostep.  The cost keeps increasing and I am now paying about $50.00 a month for a one month supply.  Do Estropstep offer a generic?  If not, is there a comparable brand they would be significally cheaper?

Answer
Hi Carol,
First of all, I want you to know that I am not a medical doctor. Please consult your physician about this question. I'm not familiar with Estrostep but if it's a form of birth control pill, I know information in general. Have you had any side effects from this? This sounds like a high cost to me. Are there any other forms of birth control you would consider? Please email me at DCHERYL51@yahoo.com if you have any further questions.
