VIORELE  (DESOGESTREL; ETHINYL ESTRADIOL):  This combination hormone medication is used to prevent pregnancy. It contains 2 hormones: a progestin (desogestrel) and an estrogen (ethinyl estradiol). It works mainly by preventing the release of an egg (ovulation) during your menstrual cycle. It also makes vaginal fluid thicker to help prevent sperm from reaching an egg (fertilization) and changes the lining of the uterus (womb) to prevent attachment of a fertilized egg. If a fertilized egg does not attach to the uterus, it passes out of the body. Besides preventing pregnancy, birth control pills may make your periods more regular, decrease blood loss and painful periods, decrease your risk of ovarian cysts, and also treat acne. Using this medication does not protect you or your partner against sexually transmitted diseases (such as HIV, gonorrhea, chlamydia).   FDA Approval Date: 2012-04-02 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 5  Control abnormal uterine bleeding None I took this because I have Abnormal Uterine Bleeding.I bled 2 years continuously before finding viorele and fixing the problem. I was prescribed 2 other different brands of pills that caused HORRIBLE side effects and Viorele was the only thing to stop the bleeding, regulate my periods and cause no bad side effects. Pills affect everyone differently but this was a life saver for me. F 30 2 years

 1  Heavy periods Mood swings, heavy periods, random cramping (excruciating), increased anxiety, urinary frequency, chest pains, rapid heart rate, panic attacks, increased discharge, migraines, dry eyes, etc. I have never taken another brand name of birth control, so I can't say that this one is the worst one I've taken because I have nothing to compare it to. But, I can say that it has emotionally turned my world upside down and has caused me more heart ache and grief than it has ever helped me. Be wise when choosing your birth control- this is certainly not one that I would pick again or ever recommend to anyone. F 20 1 years

 3  Heavy periods, endometriosis, anemi Mood stabilized, lighter periods followed by heavy periods. Breast tenderness, decreased libido, increased urination. I use this to control heavy periods and treat anemia. I have an ovarian cyst and uterine fibroid. I'm doubtful this one helps with heavy periods in the long run and will switch to something else.

 2  for severe cystic acne Severe depression, constant migraines, nausea, fatigue, anxiety, chest pains, dizziness, short-term memory loss, palpitations, dry eyes. Usually I don’t have serious problems with most generics of Mircette. Viorele has the worst side effects in a birth control pill I've ever experienced. I wasn't able to function. On the positive note, it kept my skin clear and my pores tight. My husband said I look younger and less tired. Usually I have red eyes from birth control pill use but this did not make my eyes red, although it did made them dry. I wasn’t able to wear my contacts for a long time. F 37 10 days
