Real Birth Control Pills Vs Immitation?

Is there any difference between the real brand or advertised birth contol pills than the ones cheap clinics prescribe?

Because my friend went to kaiser today to get me a month worth and i asked if it was an actual brand or cheap she said cheap should i take them or wait for better ones?

Im trusting you number one answer thanks

No there is no difference. Brand names and generics are the same things.
See what happens is a company gets a patent to make a drug for so many years (lets say 7 years) so they can try and get back some of their expenses for making the drug. Then when 7 years is up their patent expires and the other drug companies can copy the drug and send out their own generic drug (which has been tested and approved by the Federal Drug Administration FDA).

Sometimes the SAME company that makes the brand name drug will make their own generic name for their brand name to keep making money on their drug!

any generic medication - be in birth control, pain reliever, etc is known to cause more side effects. that is why doctors tend to prescribe brand name drugs more fro serious medical problems. Report Abuse
