I have just started kariva generic for mircette, I havent been on the pill for about 5 years. I have always had someside effects, mostly break outs and sickness. I expressed my concern with my OB and she decided on mircette. I was given the generic when I went to the pharmacy and Im wondering if anyone out there has been on this and can share any info with me.

Thanks

I have been on Kariva for the last year and a half, it has been a good pill for me. My periods went from five heavy days to three days with one heavy day, it has been very nice. The placebo pills have 10mg of estrogen in them, which I have found to really help with the PMS symptoms during that time of the month. I have not had any problems with Kariva. I hope it works well for you; good luck.
