A member asked:
If i switch from a low dose combination birth control pill to a high dosage one with no gaps mid cycle will i be protected? do i need backup method?

Oral contraceptives: If you have been using your low dose contraceptive exactly as directed, there should be no problem with switching to a higher dose oral contraceptive and protection should be continuous. Do not skip any doses of the new drug.
