HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Oral contraceptives can contain different ingredients.
Althea contains cyproterone and ethinyl estradiol. Cyproterone is a anti estrogen.
Sopia contains gestodene and ethinylestradiol. Gestodene is progesterone contraceptive.
Though they both contain ethinylestradiol, the other component varies but they can both be used for contraception.
I hope this helps
