your gynecologist and/or pharmacist can tell you about that. if you aren't getting too much hormone you could take both together - but your prescribing doctor would make that final decision. alternatively you can ask your doctor or pharmacist what is in the mirena as well as what is in the desogen and see if the missing ingredient is available separately.
can you take birth control pills to reduce acne if you already have the mirena iud? . i've had the mirena iud for 3 years but have suffered from very severe acne since i've had it put in. before getting the iud i was on desogen birth control pills and my skin was very clear. . i like the iud because it makes me not bleed when i menstruate but i like desogen because it makes my skin very clear. . is there a risk to taking these together?
