Is it safe to switch from ortho-cyclen birth control to the generic brand?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: The generic is the same chemical compound as the brand. For most people you will not notice any difference. Some people might have breakthrough bleeding. If further concerns, check with your doctor.
