Of course, it wouldn't be on the market if it was unsafe.

Loestrin Fe is an oral contraceptive pill that contains the lowest level of estrogen approved by the FDA. If you take Loestrin Fe properly, according to the prescription, its efficiency is over 99%. If you don’t have any disorders that include increased blood clotting, it is considered safe to take this medicine.
