My Daughter Was Recently Switched From Trinessa To Generic

My daughter is on her first batch of the generic and in her 3rd week of the pills and she is now vomiting every night and cramping. We took her to the doctor today to rule out any sort of flu or viral bug. She did NOT have this reaction with the TriNessa. Is there a different mix of drugs or make-up of the pill in the generic brand that may be causing this? She is now taking Glenmark (with a National Drug Code of 68462-565-29) Norgestimate and Ethinyl Estradiol Tablets. She takes them at bedtime and then wakes up around midnight with cramps and vomiting.

Hello, June! How is your daughter doing?

It sounds like there is something about the generic that doesn't agree with her, the inactive ingredients may be different than the ones that were in the name brand.

Has she informed her doctor? They may need to prescribe it as 'brand medically necessary' or whatever the equivalent is in your state.

The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, weight changes and PMS-like symptoms.
