Effectiveness

How Falmina Affects PatientsEthinylestradiol is a synthetic estrogen that helps to stop ovulation and reduce the blood vessels in the uterine lining. It produces long-lasting effects when taken once a day, and is generally safe even if an overdose occurs. Patients should be warned about the potential for blood clotting side effects.
How Falmina works in the bodyEthinylestradiol is a synthetic form of estrogen. It is used in combined oral contraceptives to prevent pregnancy. It works by suppressing hormones that help the ovaries release eggs, thickening cervical mucus to keep sperm from reaching an egg, and preventing changes in the endometrium that allow an egg to be implanted. Ethinylestradiol also decreases luteinizing hormone and increases sex hormone binding globulin.

Falmina for Birth Control
I've had great results with this medication so far, but I'm starting to experience some breast tenderness. Not sure if this is a delayed side effect or what, but it's something to keep an eye on.

My periods became lighter and shorter, but I experienced increased appetite and anger. Those were the only notable side effects.

Falmina for Birth Control
I didn't love Sprintec; it made me feel really foggy and fatigued, and my mood swings were terrible. This pill is only a week old for me, so it's tough to say if it's effective yet. I was tired the first week, but no decrease in libido, which is great!

Falmina for Birth Control
I really disliked this pill. I found that it killed my sex drive, made me unmotivated and irritable. If you wear contacts, be aware that this will probably make them unusable for the whole day. Definitely look into other options before agreeing to take this medication.

Falmina for Birth Control
I'm trying a different oral birth control soon. I tried Larin 1/20 before this and it was really bad for me so my doctor switched me to Falmina. This has helped with the anxiety but now I have more depression. My stomach is bloated and I'm crying constantly as well as being exhausted. If you're sensitive to estrogen or have any mental health issues, I would be careful with this medication.

Falmina for Birth Control
I'm usually prescribed Aubra, but whenever I get my birth control refilled at Rite Aid when I'm home from college, they always give me Falmina instead. For the past two summers that I've been on Falmina, I have had THE WORST ACNE OF MY LIFE. It's terrible cystic acne all over my chin and it ruins my whole day every time I wake up and see them. DO NOT TAKE THIS BC! It will ruin your skin!!!!

Falmina for Birth Control
I've been taking this birthcontrol for just over 10 days and have developed acne on my face during that time. I've never had such a problem with breakouts before. My bedding is clean and my diet is pretty much the same. I was switched to this by my doctor, after previously taking Lutera without any complaints. I wanted to see if anyone else has experienced similar issues with this medication.

Falmina for Abnormally Long or Heavy Periods
I was recently switched from a different birth control to this one Falmina and I do not like it. I had no problem with my previous one, but this one gives me the worst acne.

Falmina for Birth Control
While Falmina is effective in terms of making my periods more regular, the nausea it causes is absolutely nightmarish. I've had to miss work and social engagements due to being violently ill, and the anxiety/mood swings are similarly unmanageable. Overall, not worth it.

Falmina for Abnormally Long or Heavy Periods
I had an unfortunate reaction to this medication and it almost immediately began impacting me negatively. For the duration of the time I took the medication, I experienced non-stop bleeding. Additionally, I'd never had acne prior but suddenly my face was covered in blemishes. Thankfully, I stopped taking it after only two weeks; however, even now the acne persists.
