Question 1

How Does the Errin Birth Control Pill Work?

Accepted Answer

Errin is a daily oral contraceptive that only uses 1 hormone: norethindrone (a form of progestin). This type of birth control is often referred to as the "mini-pill" because unlike combination pills, it does not contain any estrogen. Please read all instructions before beginning use and do not take more frequently than directed. Errin is similar to: Camila, Deblitane, Heather, Incassia, Jencycla, Jolivette, Lyza, Nor-QD, Nora-BE, Norlyda, Norlyroc, Ortho Micronor, Sharobel and Tulana.

Question 2

Does Errin contain estrogen?

Accepted Answer

Errin does not contain any estrogen. It is a progestin-only pill, often referred to as a "mini-pill." This type of birth control can be a good option for those who cannot take pills that contain estrogen, such as people with certain health conditions.

Question 3

Does Errin cause acne?

Accepted Answer

Errin, like other progestin-only pills, can make acne worse because progesterone is the hormone that encourages oil production in the skin. If you are interested in trying oral contraceptives to improve your acne, you can talk to your doctor about trying a combination pill like Yaz which are approved to treat acne.

Question 4

Are there less side effects with Errin?

Accepted Answer

Maybe. Mini-pills like Errin sometimes have fewer side effects than pills that contain estrogen, but everyone is different and it's hard to predict how your body will react to any new medication.
