A member asked:

When switching to a new brand of birth control how long until i'm protected from pregnancy? immediately or wait a month and use back up b/c.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

New pill: Typically if you switch directly to another birth control pill directly you don't have to worry about pregnancy. It is always safe though to avoid unprotected intercourse until the first period on the new pill.
