Is Kariva A Good Alternative Of Azurette?
I have been using Azurette for several years and it has worked fine. Today my husband picked up my prescription and the pharmacist gave him Kariva. I called because I have never had this brand before and they assured me that it was the exact same thing. Can you confirm?

Hello,
Yes, Kariva drug is an effective alternative of Azurette drug.
The combined hormonal contraceptive pill (Ethinylestradiol and Desogestrel drugs combination) is commonly used to prevent an unwanted pregnancy.
Both Azurette and Kariva are the branded formulations of the combined oral contraceptive pills which contain the same generic medications of Ethinyl estradiol and Desogestrel.
Hence, Kariva is an equally effective combined oral contraceptive pill which can be used in place of Azurette.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
