A member asked:

Can i switch from femme ed tab 120/100 to levlen (ethinyl estradiol and levonorgestrel) ed on active pills will i have side effects?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Most women will have no problems with this switch of birth control pills. Why do you wish to switch? Switching pills because of insurance coverage is different from switching because of side effects or other issues. Please clarify.
