http://www.medications.com/effect/view/37996 I was on Loestrin 24 for 9 months and thought it was wonderful....until I was recently hospitalized for 2 weeks with blood clots in both lungs. The doctors determined that it was the Loestrin. If anyone knows of a class action lawsuit against them, please Thu, 15 Jan 2009 22:26:35 -0500 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/37996?item=16043 My doctor just put me on Loestrin24fe. I had no idea about this blood clot issue. Are you sure it was the Loestrin? Did you have any symptoms before you were hospitalized? Do you smoke? http://www.medications.com/effect/view/37996?item=16043 Thu, 07 May 2009 12:23:18 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/37996?item=19590 My cousin had stroke from clots in the brain.
