A member asked:

Why does the birth control that my doctor gave me look different then the kind i got from the clinic?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Generic?: There are two possibilities here: 1. You have been given a different formulation. 2. You have been given a generic equivalent of your original prescription, but the packaging is different. Your pharmacist can help you sort this out.
