What Are The Side Effects Of Orsythia?

Hello, I am here because I have a question about my birth control. Over the past few years since I was diagnosed with PCOS I ve taken different birth controls. Simply because some would put me in so much pain. But the last one I had taken for a year or more seem to help the most, which was Aviane. So when I switched pharmacies and went to pick up my birth control they gave me Orsythia. I researched and found that it was a generic for Aleese just like Aviane. After taking Orsythia for the past few days I have felt discomfort, pressure, sometimes pain. And I am not what to do, any advice? Please and thank you.

Hello ma'am and welcome.

It is common to notice side effects with one brand and not the other although the generic is the same. I have come across many such cases, although the reason behind this has not been clearly understood.

In my opinion, it is the pharmacy and their technique or method used in making their drugs. I would suggest you switch back to Aviane and specifically request for that particulr drug and not any other brand.

Hope this helps.

Best wishes.
