Questioning This Medication

My pharmacy recently switched my generic for Aviane , Lutera to Falmina. I work at an OBGYN and know that it sometimes causes problems when they switch it up on you. I wasnt really having problems with the Lutera, i mean i didnt have awesome acne control with it but it wasnt horrible. Well i was switched to this Falmina and have read 4 reviews on WebMd that are horrible! Belly pain, chest pain, migraines and weight gain? I was on Yasmin before which was amazing and cleared my skin right up but i gained 30 pounds on it. Im worried about gaining weight on this one! Has anyone tried this and done well with it? I know everyone is different but its always nice to have input!

Hello, Tennisgirl! How are you?

While your pharmacy can switch which generic they give you, the dosage should be the same, they aren't allowed to change that without your doctor's approval. Thus, the amount of hormones should be exactly the same as those that were in the one you were taking, which means that if it worked well for you, there shouldn't be any difference to you with this new one.

Is there anything else I can help with?
