Ortho-Lo has 25 mcgm of artificial estrogen...which is only 10 mcgm lower than OTC.
The lowest-dose pills--Alesse, Mircette, and Levlite--have 20 mcgm of estrogen.
If what you say is true, then women using Alesse--which seems to be one of the more commonly prescribed pills--should be dropping babies like whoa.
