A member asked:

When switching from yaz (drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol) birth control to seasonique, how long should i use condoms?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No need: When switching from one pill to another- without a break-a condom is not needed to maintain contraceptive effectiveness.
