Hi, i just took my 1st pill (birth control) for this month but i want to switch to a different one because of the side effects ...can i do that now?

It depends: This depends upon what type of oral contraceptive you are using now and what you are switching to. I would contact your pcp or ob/gyn to clarify for you if the two types are compatible.

Should not: Depends on what side effects.- severe or not but it is best to finish this pack and change to the next pack
