What can be the effects of switching birth control pills?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It varies: Sometimes switching birth-control pills can cause intermittent spotting. As long as the dosage and hormonal content is similar the contraceptive abilities usually don't change if the pills are taking accordingly.
