A member asked:

What is the difference between sprintec bc and kelnor (zovia) bc just switched, what side effects should i keep an eye out for?

Dr. Jeff Livingston answered

Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Probably none: There are both combination birth control pills with only very slight differences in the levels of Estrogen. It is not likely that you would be able to tell much of a difference.
