Frequently asked questions

Lolo

Does Lolo help with acne?

Yes. All low dose combination pills can be used for the treatment of acne. Most often, your practitioner will recommend a standard, low dose combined birth control pill like Alysena/Alesse, Mirvala/Marvelon or Tricira Lo.

There are some newer formulation of combined pills with progestins that are possibly better for acne. In some studies, combined birth control pills containing drospirenone (like Yaz) performed better at reducing acne. However, this form of birth control has possibly been correlated with increased risk of blood clots.

How to take Lolo birth control?

Take 1 blue tablet daily for 24 days, then 1 white tablet daily for 2 days then 1 lilac-coloured tablet daily for 2 days. The blue tablets contain both norethindrone acetate and ethinyl estradiol, the white tablets contains ethinyl estradiol only and the lilac tablet contains no active medication

You can read more about when to start birth control here.

Is Lolo a combination pill?

Lolo is a combination pill, meaning it contains a combination of estrogen and progestin. Pills containing these hormones are called combined estrogen-progestin oral contraceptives (COCs). When people refer to “the pill,” they typically use it as a catch-all phrase that can refer to any COCs.

Lolo, also known as Lo Loestrin, is considered a low-dose COC and a safe and reliable contraceptive for most women. Like other combination pills, Lolo contains both estrogen and progestin components. However, Lolo is considered an ultra-low dose choice since it provides an even lower dose of estrogen than other pills that are also regarded as low doses. 

Suppose someone wants to use a combination oral contraceptive but is concerned about exposure to higher estrogen levels. In that case, Lolo is an option that minimizes the extra estrogen while still providing adequate protection against unplanned pregnancies. 

Unlike other low-dose COCs, such as Alesse and its generic alternative, Alysena, Lolo is a multiphasic contraceptive. This means the daily dose will vary depending on the cycle phase rather than staying consistent throughout the entire pack of pills.

What are the side effects of Lolo?

If you’re taking Lolo, please monitor for a rare but serious side effect of blood clots: shortness of breath, chest pain (particularly with deep breathing), coughing up blood, persistent leg pain, or redness, swelling, or warmth in your lower legs (usually one-sided) can all be indications of a blood clot in the legs or lungs, and should never be ignored. 

Please seek medical attention promptly if this occurs, in the emergency department.


How does Lolo work?

Birth control pills such as Lolo help reduce the chances of pregnancy in two ways. Firstly they inhibit the monthly release of an egg(s) by your ovaries. Secondly, changes in both the endometrium (lining of the womb) and the mucus produced by the cervix (opening of the uterus) occur with the use of birth control pills.

Why is that important? It makes it less likely that a sperm will penetrate an egg, or for an egg to implant on the wall of the uterus.

How much does Lolo birth control cost?

The cost of Lolo birth control will depend on your insurance coverage if you happen to have any. Choose to get your Lolo prescription written and filled out online through Felix. You will be able to see the estimated cost of Lolo (and any other oral contraceptive you discuss) during your online visit. 

The estimated cost you see will not include any insurance or benefits coverage you may have, which would bring the cost down. In Canada, it is illegal to display market pricing for prescription medication, but your online visit will clear up any questions about Lolo, including the price. The prices you’ll see will include the pharmacy fill fee on your refill schedule. 

Unlike some other brand-name oral contraceptives, such as Alesse, there is no generic alternative to Lolo. In cases where there is a generic version of a drug you are prescribed, the generic product will typically be available at a lower price than the brand-name product. 

Felix charges $40 for your online visit, but you will only be charged this if and when a healthcare practitioner approves you. The visit fee includes a prescription that will be valid for 12 months and support from the doctor or pharmacist.

What alternatives are there to Lolo?

There are many different options for birth control. You can learn more about deciding which option is right for you here.

How effective is Lolo?

Lolo is 97 percent effective at preventing unplanned pregnancies. This means that out of 100 women who take Lolo correctly as directed, three will get pregnant yearly. Lolo should be taken at the same time every day as directed. 

Since it is a multiphasic oral contraceptive, the pills also need to be taken in the correct order. All blue pills should be taken first, followed by the two white and brown pills. The next pack should start again with the blue pills when one package is done. 

Lolo is the lowest dose oral contraceptive that still maintains such a high level of protection against unwanted pregnancy, making it desirable for those who prefer or are better suited to an ultra-low dose of estrogen option. As a baseline, 60 to 85 women out of 100 will become pregnant in a year if no birth control is used. With condoms, between two and 12 women out of 100 will become pregnant in a year.

What are the white pills in Lolo?

The white pills in Lolo are estrogen-only pills containing synthetic estrogen called ethinyl estradiol. Lolo differs from other combined estrogen-progestin oral contraceptives (COCs) since it is multiphasic. This means that the active pills included in a pack of Lolo are not all identical in their dosage. 

Instead, the dosage is split into different phases. A monophasic oral contraceptive will contain identical active pills. With a monophasic oral contraceptive, it’s possible to skip the inactive pills and keep taking the next pack of active pills to skip a period. With multiphasic pills such as Lolo, you should take a pause before starting the next pack. 

When you look at a pack of Lolo, you’ll see 24 blue pills, 2 white pills and 2 lilac-colored pills. The blue pills contain one milligram of a progestin called norethindrone acetate and ten micrograms of an estrogen called ethinyl estradiol. The white pills only contain the estrogen, while the lilac pills are placebo pills.

Who should not take Lolo?

You should not take Lolo if you are pregnant. In addition, if you have experienced any of the following conditions: Blood clotting disorders, high blood pressure, heart disease, liver disease, breast disease, circulation problems, migraine with aura, or unexplained vaginal bleeding.

Smokers over 35 should not take Lolo.

What is Lolo?

Lolo is a type of birth control known as a combined oral contraceptive (COC). It contains two hormones, estrogen and progestin, and when taken reduces the chances of pregnancy.

Does Felix replace my doctor?

No. Felix provides a faster, hassle-free way for you to get a prescription to certain medications but our service does not replace your primary care provider. For matters that extend beyond obtaining a prescription lifestyle medication safely and easily, we encourage you to consult your primary health practitioner in person — whether for checkups, personal health concerns, or to inform them about the medications you are currently using.

Can I be accurately assessed remotely?

Absolutely. Our online assessments have been designed to ask all the necessary questions required for diagnosis. We've worked with specialist to create an assessment process that can provide sufficient information for the healthcare practitioner to determine whether or not you are eligible for a prescription and craft an appropriate treatment plan.

It's an emergency. What do I do?

Call 911 or proceed to your nearest emergency room immediately. Felix is not intended for medical emergencies. Once the emergency has been addressed or resolved, contact your prescribing practitioner to inform them of your experience as this may impact your current treatment plan.

Online Visits

How does the visit work?

After creating an account, you will complete a medical assessment for evaluation by one of the Felix healthcare practitioners. 

During your assessment, you will have the opportunity to send your practitioner questions via secure messaging.  

In most cases, practitioners will complete your assessment with secure messaging alone but sometimes they may determine you require an audio or video visit and/or further diagnostic testing to help determine the best treatment plan for you. 

If your practitioner has determined a prescription treatment is appropriate, they will approve your visit and write you a prescription. Our pharmacy will then ship your prescription to your home.

You’ll be able to message your healthcare practitioner if you have questions or want to make changes to your treatment at any time.

Do I need to complete my online visit at a scheduled time?

No. We use an asynchronous telemedicine model so you can complete your online visit in your own time and we save your progress so you can come back later to finish it.

If you are completing a visit in the mental health or weight loss categories, your healthcare practitioner may require a phone or video call to discuss your medical profile further during the assessment process.

Does the online visit require a phone or video appointment?

Most assessments do not require a phone or video conversation. Once a prescriber has reviewed the info in your assessment they will respond to you via secure instant messages that you can access within your Felix account.  

If you are completing a visit in the mental health or weight loss categories, your healthcare practitioner may require a phone or video call to discuss your medical profile further during the assessment process.

How quickly will a healthcare practitioner review my online visit?

You can expect to receive a response from a healthcare practitioner within 24 hours of submission. If you’ve been waiting longer than this, please email hello@felixforyou.ca and we’ll look into it.

Can I just get the treatment and skip the online visit?

No. A visit with a licensed healthcare practitioner is required for all treatments currently provided through Felix’s service.

Please email our Customer Support team at hello@felixforyou.ca and they will be able to assist you with the transfer.
