A member asked:

I have been on two types loestrin( regular and generic) over the past three months. can i get pregnant?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not if taken properl: Both brand name and generic medications, if filled by pharmacy based on prescription, should be equally effective. If taken properly without missing doses and taking pills sequentially, the chance of getting pregnant is negligible.
