Is Zovia And Kelnor Exactly The Same Pill?

I was previously taking Zovia for a year and it worked just fine I did nit have any side effects. I went to the pharmacy to pick up refill and they gave Kelnor. They told me that it was exactly the same but I have been having nausea, dizzy and I have been sweating. I'm not sure what the problem is if the pills are supposed to be the same.

General & Family Physician 's  Response
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

They are different generic forms of the same drug. This means that they are likely manufactured by different companies.

Because there may be slight differences in additives and manufacturing techniques different generics can sometimes causes a slight change in the side effect profile.

You may want to consider speaking to your pharmacist to let them know about the reactions you are experiencing.

I hope this helps
