Brandye is a jewel in the rough
Because it bypasses the stomach and liver, a much lower dose is needed to be effective. It is as effective as any of the hormonal systems. I tell my patients to look out for the same drug interactions as with the pill. I know what the site says but still recommend backup contraception if on anti-biotics.
