Brief Answer:
They have the same composition.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for posting your query.

The composition of both the trade names is the same, i.e., ethinyl estradiol and desogestrel. The dosage also is the same. So, you can use any of the preparations.

Hope I have clarified your query. Please feel free to contact for further information, if needed. I will be happy to help.
