New Birth Control Patch Reduces Bleeding | Washington DC News

FDA just approved a new birth control patch called Gwyn Lo, designed with a lower estrogen dose and slightly higher progesterone to help reduce period length and flow—potentially easing heavy bleeding and cramps. It’s worn for three weeks, then one week off, and is expected to hit pharmacies by prescription later this year. But note: it’s not recommended for women with a BMI over 30, so talk to your doctor first.
