Effectiveness
How Emoquette Affects PatientsEthinylestradiol is a type of synthetic hormone used to prevent ovulation. It is taken once per day and is considered to be a safe drug, although patients should be aware of the risks associated with blood clots.
How Emoquette works in the bodyEthinylestradiol is a synthetic form of estrogen. It is commonly used in combined oral contraceptives to stop ovulation, thicken cervical mucus to block sperm, and stop changes in the endometrium that are required for pregnancy. Ethinylestradiol also decreases luteinizing hormone and increases sex hormone binding globulin. All of these effects work together to prevent pregnancy.

Emoquette Reviews: What are patients saying about Emoquette?
5Patient Review
10/23/2016 This pill is definitely one you would need if you were going to have sex without condoms. It's worked well for me in the past, and I'm always grateful to have it on hand just in case.
5Patient Review
7/23/2015 I switched to this because I was experiencing hair loss. My tests came back normal, but my doctor and I decided to try a pill with a lower androgen index. So far, I've been really pleased! My breasts don't hurt like they did on the last pill, and I've noticed less hair shedding.
3.7Patient Review
5/16/2017 After trying out a few different options, I finally landed on this pill when my previous birth control was recalled. Gildess Fe 1/20 had been working well for my acne, weight, and moods--and while this new pill also helped to clear up my hormonal acne after a few months, I'm still left with frequent breakouts. In addition, I've noticed some serious changes in my mood which have included decreased sex drive, anxiety, and depression. Here's hoping that it's just a phase!
3.7Patient Review
7/23/2014 Unfortunately, this birth control didn't work well for me. I felt like it changed my mood and so I only took it for three months before switching to something else.
2.3Patient Review
4/15/2016 I've been using this birth control for acne and it's really not working well for me. I'm only 20, but I've already started experiencing abdominal pain, cystic bumps, hot flashes, and an increase in bra size. I'll be done with this pack soon and switching to a different brand that I used when I was 17.
2.3Patient Review
6/22/2015 I had a whole host of problems while taking this pill, including but not limited to: headaches, lightheadedness, dizziness, nausea, shortness of breath, rapid heart rate, fatigue, and extreme mood swings. I took it for five months in the hopes that it would improve with time but sadly saw no such change.
2.3Patient Review
6/14/2017 I had to stop taking this medication after only a short time because it resulted in a bilateral pulmonary embolism. This was caused by blood clots that formed in both of my lungs and could have killed me if I hadn't gotten treatment right away.
2.3Patient Review
4/21/2014 I switched from Aviane to emoquette in order to better control my moods, and it has done the complete opposite. I have felt extremely nauseous and have even thrown up multiple times. My breasts are extremely tender and I have gone up a full cup size in bras. My mood swings are only getting worse and it has made me feel very depressed and anxious. I will be switching off of this medicine immediately
2Patient Review
1/7/2015 I had such awful stomach pain while taking Emoquette. I was originally on Desogen, then switched to Apri, and finally landed on Emoquette. After trying Emoquette for a few months in the hopes that the pain would eventually subside, I stopped taking it. Emoquette and Desogen are not comparable at all! Do not bother with this pill if you value your comfort.
1Patient Review
9/13/2017 Do not recommend. I went on this birth control pill (Emoquette) for my cystic acne per my doctor's suggestion. Immediately after starting the pill, my acne got worse--more painful and red than ever. After a few months, there was no improvement.

"Emoquette is a birth control pill that contains two hormones: desogestrel and ethinyl estradiol.

This makes it harder for sperm to enter the uterus and fertilize an egg."

Answered by AI
