Can Althea Be Switched With Diane35?
Hi Doc, I took althea for 8 months. i just switched to diane 35 last sunday, June 29. The last pill I took with althea was June 21. Since there s 7 days interval for althea, I decided to to take diane 35 after that. My boyfriend and I had an intercourse on the same day as I took the first pill for diane 35. Will I be pregnant? Thanks.

Hello,
I can understand your concern. Althea and Diane 35 are same molecules with different brand names. Their working mechanism for contraception is also safe.
So do not worry about pregnancy. If you are taking pills regularly, you are safe.
I hope this information helps. Thank you for choosing HealthcareMagic. Take care.
Best,
