My wife brought a couple dozen packs of Nordette oral contraception pills when we moved here from the Philippines. In our case, we didn't have any problems. Customs in the Philippines nor in the U.S. questioned it. We did not have a prescription for them, either. We also packed them with amoxicillin and other drugs.

Hope that helps answer your question.

waat?? :crying: ...i wanna go back to yasmin. i like it and didn't gain weight while using that brand unfortunately the plan parenthood here in CA doesn't prescribed it as it was pulled out by the state. althou the doc who attended to me personally believed there was nothing wrong with it. Iam using now desogen and have gained 5 lbs for the last 2 mos... am actually going back to get more supply on saturday and will discuss about having another brand. Not sure what but i hate anymore addtl weight. :crying:

yasmin has no bad side effects on me nor even gain weight for that 3 yrs plus i was into it.
