When you switch from one BC pill (aviane) to (orsythia) which is the generic equivalent to aviane , do you need to wait 7 days for unprotected sex? They have the exact same hormones and dosage

Hi as17,

The best person to direct that question to is your pharmacist or the doctor who is helping you switch brands. We actually advise people to always use condoms while on the pill, as it provides added protection against pregnancy as well as protection against STIs.
