Lutera side effect
Posted: 04-24-08 20:17pm

Hi, I've been taking Lutera for 2 months now and everytime I start a new pack, within 3 days , I develop a cold sore on my lip!! It happened last month and now this one too! I can't eat or drink anything with natural orange flavors in it or I will get them - never fails!

If anyone has any suggestions or has experienced the same problem please do let me know. This is the first time this has ever happened and I've been on several different stronger birth control pills and have only developed mood problems. This pill doesn't give me any problems what so ever except possibly the cold sore business.

thanks!

Hmm....

I hate to say this, but I don't think you can say yet if it's really from the pills. If you've only been on it two months, it could just be coincidence.

That being said, it still sucks that you're getting cold sores!

try getting a prescription of Valtrex, i know it is a genital herpe med. but you wont get cold sores anymore, it helps with fever blisters too.
