considering birth control: are levonorgestrel and norgestrel equal mg for mg?
i'm comparing active ingredients. can levonorgestrel and norgestrel mg for mg be compared? like.... 0.3mg levonorgestrel theraputically equivalent to 0.3mg norgestrel? thanks

No, actually, they can't. Just as there are many different antibiotics, but all work against bacterial infections, different progestins (synthetic progesterones) also work differently, and so you have to compare their androgenic and progesterone activity, which involves mathematics that I admit, I don't understand in order to calculate how they actually function on various systems.

If only it were so easy. :P

I like the charts at the website WDX Cyber, which lists a variety of pills and what their progestins are, and what their activity is, and what pills might be best to mitigate what side effects.

Good luck finding a pill that works for you.
