Can't find Blisovi 24 Fe 1/20? Here are the best alternatives with the same ingredients, plus similar birth control options your doctor may recommend.
If your pharmacy can't fill your Blisovi 24 Fe 1/20 prescription, the last thing you want is to go without birth control. The good news is that several alternatives contain the exact same active ingredients, and others are close enough that switching is straightforward.
In this guide, we'll explain what Blisovi 24 Fe 1/20 is, how it works, and walk through your best alternatives — from identical generics to similar pills your doctor might recommend.
Blisovi 24 Fe 1/20 is a combination oral contraceptive (birth control pill) made by Lupin Pharmaceuticals. It's a generic equivalent of the discontinued brand Loestrin 24 Fe.
Each 28-day pack contains:
It's prescribed for pregnancy prevention and, in some cases, to treat acne in women 15 and older. For a full overview, see our guide on what Blisovi 24 Fe 1/20 is and how to take it.
Blisovi 24 Fe 1/20 works through three mechanisms:
The 24/4 dosing schedule (24 active pills, 4 placebo days) gives you shorter withdrawal bleeds compared to traditional 21/7 pills. Learn more about the mechanism of action in our detailed explainer.
These medications are AB-rated generic equivalents of Blisovi 24 Fe 1/20. They contain the exact same active ingredients in the same doses with the same 24/4 schedule. Pharmacists in most states can substitute these without a new prescription.
Junel Fe 24 is one of the most widely prescribed generics of Loestrin 24 Fe. It contains norethindrone acetate 1 mg / ethinyl estradiol 20 mcg in a 24/4 pack with ferrous fumarate placebo tablets. Made by Teva Pharmaceuticals, it has a strong distribution network, which means it may be easier to find than Blisovi at some pharmacies.
Hailey 24 Fe is another generic equivalent manufactured by Mayne Pharma. Same active ingredients, same doses, same regimen. If your pharmacy carries Mayne Pharma products, this could be a readily available swap.
Aurovela 24 Fe is manufactured by Aurobindo Pharmaceuticals. It's the same formulation as Blisovi 24 Fe. While less commonly stocked than Junel Fe 24, it's worth asking about — especially at independent pharmacies that use multiple wholesalers.
If none of the identical generics are available, your prescriber may suggest a pill in the same drug class with slight differences in dosing or schedule. These require a new prescription.
Lo Loestrin Fe is a brand-name pill with even lower estrogen than Blisovi 24 Fe. It contains norethindrone acetate 1 mg with only 10 mcg ethinyl estradiol for 24 days, plus 2 days of estrogen-only tablets and 2 placebo tablets. It's a good option if you want lower estrogen exposure, but it's significantly more expensive since no generic exists.
If the 24/4 version is unavailable, the 21/7 formulation of Blisovi Fe 1/20 contains the same active ingredients but with 21 active tablets and 7 placebo tablets. The longer placebo phase means slightly longer withdrawal bleeds, but the contraceptive effectiveness is comparable.
Switching between identical generics (Junel Fe 24, Hailey 24 Fe, Aurovela 24 Fe) is simple — you continue on the same day of your pack cycle with the new brand. No gap is needed.
Switching to a different formulation (like Lo Loestrin Fe or the 21/7 version) should be done under your prescriber's guidance. In most cases, you'll start the new pill the day after finishing your current pack's active tablets.
A few important things to keep in mind:
Use Medfinder to search for any of these alternatives by name and check real-time pharmacy availability near you. You can also ask your pharmacist to check their wholesaler inventory for all AB-rated equivalents when your specific brand is unavailable.

Being unable to fill your birth control prescription is stressful, but you have real options. Three other generics — Junel Fe 24, Hailey 24 Fe, and Aurovela 24 Fe — are identical to Blisovi 24 Fe 1/20. And if none of those are available, similar alternatives like Lo Loestrin Fe or the 21/7 formulation can keep you covered while supply catches up.
Talk to your prescriber, use Medfinder to track availability, and don't go without. You deserve consistent access to your birth control.
