I used to take the pill Alesse, but my pharmacist gave me the generic version due to insurance reasons. Will this affect my cycle and its effectiveness?

Switching to the generic version of a medication should not impact your cycle or its effectiveness. However, some women may experience spotting during the first month of taking the new pill. This is typically not a cause for concern and does not affect the pill's ability to prevent pregnancy.
