Someone asked us: What's the difference between brand name and generic birth control? Is brand name birth control better?
Your birth control works the same, whether it's brand name or generic. The term "brand name" just means it's from a more well-known company. Generic birth control is the exact same medicine, but it’s made by a less popular brand and often costs less than brand name birth control. .
Your nurse, doctor, or pharmacist might mention the brand name version of your birth control when speaking about it to you just because it's the name that it’s most commonly known by.
