Are the diff types of birth control pills (combined) all the same? what are the diff types of birth control pills, and are many listed all diff?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
BC not identical: Combination BC pills all contain both estradiol and a progestin. There are low vs higher dose estrogen pills, Also, there are several different progestins, some causing less side effects than others. Thirdly, there are BC pills with fixed doses for 21 days and others that have a biphasic or triphasic combination. Best Rx for you is based on your history/response. All give similar protection.
