A member asked:
I'm switching from brand name to generic birthcontrol. i take it responsibly. is there a difference between brand and generic? will there be a change?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not likely : If you are changing to the generic version of the exact same brand name then there no chemical difference at all. The only difference is the cost and the packaging
