Does Micronor cause acne or weight gain?

Question

Hello, I got a prescription for the micronor pill and I was wondering if it causes acne... I think it doesn't reduce acne like other birth control pills since there is no estrogen but does it cause it? Also, does it cause weight gain? For reference, I am a 21 year old woman who is going to take micronor because of my migraines. Thank you! great thanks! Can micronor reduce acne like other birth control pills that have both progesterone and estrogen too?

Hello Mrs, Yes, acne is a possible side effect with Micronor, but it is also possible with contraceptives with estrogens. This effect remains rare and can disappear if the medication is stopped. I would also like to point out that contraceptives, including Micronor, do not cause weight gain. I hope that I have been helpful to you and I am available if you have any further questions! Tom Samaha, Pharmacist Micronor is not indicated for the treatment of acne and is unlikely to have a beneficial effect in this regard.
