Have you ever taken generic BC pills? I just picked up my new prescription for Kariva because it's covered on my DH's insurance plan, unlike my normal pill (EstroStep). Has anyone had any problems on generic pills?

Anyone know the generic for Ortho-cept 28?
I am switching jobs and i'll be uninsured for 60 days. Cobra is there but for $350 a month and just so I can get this 'script?
Right now Im paying $50 (Thats WITH insurance)

I am paying $50 as well. Sad state of affairs in this country, isn't it??
You can always get BC pills from Planned Parenthood if you are uninsured. They do try to evaluate your financial status, so it may not be cheaper, but it is worth a shot. Before I got my current job, that is what I used to do. They charged me $25 a month.

im on kariva.... but it is wierd, the non-generic name of it was mirecette... hmmm....
That's what I was told. I was on Mircette for about a year and switched over to Kariva when it became available. No problems.
