A member asked:
If pharmacy switches birth control brands but same levels, is there any chance of new side effects like spotting? i always spot when trying new pills.

Possibly: sometimes with generic pills even though the dosages are within the technical range there can be enough differences to cause spotting or irregular bleeding, but the contraceptive effect should still be intact
