Is it ok to just... switch?

Question

I'm on YAZ for about two months, but want to go back to my old BC i took previously, YAZ is quite expencive! lol. So is it ok to just start taking Ortho Tri Cyclen lo again wen my YAZ pack is gone?

Answer 1

seriously, you need to talk to your ob/gyn before making that change. some meds you can't just change because you want to. your doctor knows how to go about it without problems being caused.

Answer 2

Call the doctor/clinic that prescribes your pills and let them know that you'd like to switch back. They can update your prescription for you. Trust me, this is a common problem with Yaz and it happens all the time that people want to switch because of the cost.
