A member asked:
I'm changing to a new brand of bc pill at the end of the pill pack. should i be worried about whether the effectiveness of my bc will change?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: The estrogen and progesterone content is regulated and should be similar between pills that your GYN prescribes. As long as the formulation of the estrogen/progesterone remains equivalent, you shouldnt have any issues Best wishes Dr M
