For Birth Control "Effective at preventing pregnancy. My skin was perfect on this pill. However, I was very tired, moody, and had increased amounts of discharge, which is finally what made my doctor switch me to a new birth control pill. Didn't affect my sex drive though."

For Birth Control "I have been taking Azurette for 3 years now, and I couldn't have found a better birth control option. It took me maybe a month to get used to, but since then I don't ever have any adverse side effects. The only downside to the pill is on the sugar pill week I tend to be more moody and irritable than normal. However, it has been super effective in preventing pregnancy and regulating my normally horrendous periods that I used to have. My periods are much lighter and bearable. I would definitely recommend Azurette to someone else."

For Birth Control "I would like to add my experience with taking Azurette. I have taken it for 4 years, and it is honestly a great option. I had normal period flows before getting on birth control (7 days), but severe cramps. Azurette completely relieved me of cramps, and my periods were lighter (3-4 days). Here's why I can't give it a 10: I do feel more moody - not bursting into tears every other day, but slightly more snappy/angry/sensitive to things that otherwise wouldn't bother me so much. I've had to learn to control that, but it's annoying. Sex drive over time has decreased - but I'm also a lot more stressed since starting my career (I'm 26). Lastly, I decided that worrying about daily pills is also annoying."

For Birth Control "I have been on this prescription for 5+ years. I have never had any issues. My pharmacy tried to change to Mylan - Ethinyl Estradiol, which made me very moody and anxious. I tried Teva - Kariva and couldn't sleep. I really like Azurette, but hear it's being discontinued."
