Question I ran out of orthotriclyin lo and started taking some YAZ pills. I finished the pack of YAZ and have nothing else to take. My friend gave me a pack of loestrin 24. Will it harm me to start taking that pack. I really don't want to get pregnant and don't have the money to fill my ortho prescription.
Thanks.
Answer Although I don't think it's been studied a lot, I think changing from one pill to another doesn't really cause problems, and you'll be protected as long as you keep taking some pill. I think you can take the Loestrin pack without a problem. Because it's 24 days of active pills, your period will come a little later, and will probably be light.
