I used two different brands of pills?!


Question: I used two different brands of pills!?
hi, ok i have been on the pill now for a month and a half!.
just at the weekend me and all my friends, including my twin sister went away for the weekend!. it was for three days and i forgot to bring my pills, my sister brought hers though and she let me take some of hers for the weekend, the thing is i take yazmin and she takes a different brand!.
will i still be protected when it comes to sex/ period pains!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
I am afraid pills may not be interchangeable as the hormones are different, it is not just a case of different brand names for the same thing!. Your contraceptive cover may well have been compromised, so I would not rely on your pill alone for the next 10 days to be sure!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

you should be protected as long as you continue with your own brand!. it may cause you some side effects since the Yasmin will be a different combination of hormones, but ultimately you should be ok!.

taking a pill is better than not, especially if you need contraception!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
