switched to generic brand of BC
For the past 3 or 4 months I've been on birth control I've been taking reclipsen. I decided to order my next pack online, instead of calling it in. I had a bit of a hassle in ordering it, but finally did, but reclipsen was gone and in its place was apri, with a note saying it was the generic brand of reclipsen.
I started taking apri yesterday and was wondering if taking it would conflict with me having taken reclipsen. Or are they essentially the same thing?
I don't want to mess up my cycle or anything by taking a different BC.

Reclipsen is a generic form of Desogen so it's similar to my situation of going from a generic to a generic. I can't speak for your body but it shouldn't have any effect on you. It's not supposed to, anyway.

Very rarely one can have an allergic reaction to the different non-active incredients, like the dyes or fillers, but this is not typical.

They're supposed to be essentially identical, so in theory you're fine.

Last last year Gianvi drastically changed it's packaging, pill size, pill color, I keep double checking the box to make sure I'm on the same thing. Anyway... After starting this new looking pack I spotted for a week. I haven't been able to find anything saying Gianvi actually changed anything so either it was time to random spot or an inactive ingredient changed. Other than that I'm fine. It still keeps my acne away.
