Is Diane As Effective As Althea?

I m 18 years old and currently using althea pills. I m thinking about shifting to dianne 35 since many says it has the same content. And also, I discovered cheaper dianne 35 which only costs 350php made in thailand that s why. Is the reaction would be the same?

hi,
i can understand your concern.
both of them ie althea and diane are equally effectove in providing contraception.
you can start using diane with out any apprehensions.
only thing you have to remember is if you skip a dose, it would not provide the similar protection and you would have to use some other method like condom for that particular month.

rest assured you can use either of them

hope this helps, have a nice day
