I went to pick up my birth control today and it has changed again! 3rd time. Yes I know insurance makes you get the generic-- but how many generics can there be for 1 birth control?

It is scary really- the last one was working just fine- birth control is something one should not mess with.

I think you are alright as long as the drug and dosage is the same. Generics generally have a high quality control as the name brands do. I've had a generic change on me several times as well. A lot of times it is just what the pharmacy has open or on hand. If you are concerned ask your Dr to check name brand only on the Rx slip.

Thanks for the info. I just hate taking something different when it's that important you know what I mean.

I have taken many generic drugs before- antibiotics and they do the trick.

Did you ask your doctor why they keep switching? Or maybe ask the pharmacist?

Is it the same insurance group? Maybe ask them why the brands keep changing.
