A member asked:
Why do some women experience side effects when switching to genetic if it's supposed to be "the same"? i'm switching from microgestin to gildess.

Formulation change: Even though the pill is composed of the same two hormones as the brand name and amounts, the generic formulation may be different and react differently with each person's body.
