How to switch birth control that keeps me protected? does switching birth control after the 7 days rest on pill also keeps me protected right away against pregnancy even if they have different or same ingredients and dosage?

If the "new" bcp is an approved commercial brand, starting a new pack after seven days of placebos will afford the same degree of protection as continuing your old brand.
