Like I said, you can't use brand names. Each woman's reaction to birth control is unique. What works for you, may not work for me etc. I wish people in Malaysia would stop being so obsessed about the brand name. IT DOESN'T MATTER. WHAT MATTERS IS YOUR REACTION TO IT. I could recommend all the brand names in the world to you, but if you have a bad experience with it, what's the point?
Give it two months, and for f***'s sake, listen to your gyne's prescription instructions! You're not the one with the medical degree!
as i said different brand names different chemical used. i am not concern about the brand names, just the brand name represents what the contents is i.e. v ia gra is also just a brand name that has many competitors that have same purpose but different combination of drugs/chemical used, which, the chemical names would be too long to type out. and different chemical would have different function in general, although as u said, its also some individual factors, like women who had different medical history would not be prescript to certain brands because these brands contain a certain chemical/hormone. i thought i made my point pretty clear by stating my previous post
microgyn (yes brand names but shorter, easier no?) - contained of ethinylestradiol and levonorgestrel, generally levonorgestrel as stated by NHS more than 60% of woman reacted to this hormone by popping adult acne.
while, dianette (cyproterone acetate and ethinylestradiol) or Yaz (Drospirenone and Ethinyl Estradiol), Yes both brand names but again my point is, the Ethinyl or the smaller molecular extracted ethinylestradiol, as referred to NHS Stat more than 80% woman reported to have their skin improved after taken that, and it is well-known for not just gynea but also dermatologist to prescribe this for the purpose of pimples. also, please do not because of your misunderstanding of my intention, you generalized 28millions malaysians to be obsessed with "brand names", what more, I am only holding Malaysia PR, I am born and raised in Singapore, spent half my life in UK.
i do not doubt the doctor, but this NHS GP who had saw my adult acne problem on the same day of my visit and prescribed me zineryt solution, also give me a contraceptive pill that contain ethinylestradiol and levonorgestrel , got my wonder a bit why he's not giving me the one that contain cyproterone acetate or the one that contain ethinylestradiol or the Drospirenone and Ethinyl Estradiol. - ok no brand names
