Is Apri 21 The Same As Prescribed Marvelon?

My doctor recently changed my birth control to marvelon. But when I went to get my prescription filled the pharmacist gave me Apri 21 saying it is the same as marvelon. Can I demand they gave me the pill the doctor has perscribed for me.? I don t feel comfortable taking something a pharmacist uses as his replacement.
