A member asked:

I have been on portia birth control for a couple years now i have received marisa . is there a huge diffefence between the 2?

Dr. Sean Ray answered

No: I assume you're referring to Marlissa, not Marisa. No, there's not a significant difference between the two; they're simply different brands containing the same medications, ethinyl estradiol and levonorgestrel.
