How it works
Compositions come from Philippine pharmacy listings; prices are the lowest we found at Watsons, Rose, TGP and Hati this month. "EE" is ethinylestradiol, the estrogen in most combined pills. A lower estrogen dose is not automatically better: it can mean more spotting. Your doctor helps you choose.
