Would Switching To Althea From Diane Result In Pregnancy, Post Unprotected Sex?

Hello!
Thanks for your query.
Diane and althea have the same formulation but diane is more expensive than althea.
If you took althea in the first day of your cycle you are protected .
If you have started using althea in every other day of your cycle you should use another contraceptive method for the 7 next day.
You should take a urine pregnancy test at home to confirm /rule out pregnancy.
Take care of your self
