Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I take birth control. For the past year I ve used Cryselle and it was great also cleared up my bad acne that my doctor couldn t fix. I recently moved so I switched to a different pharmacy that was close, they gave me the elinest version. He said they re the same but are they? I ve seen reviews of a lot of women saying they prefer cryselle and it works better/helps better. I just got nervous because it s smaller and I feel like it s the cheaper version compared to what I m use to. I don t mainly use the medicine for sex I use it for it occasionally but my main concern is my skin, I struggled for years and it was the only thing that helped and even cleared my body acne. Am I just freaking out over nothing?
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
To be honest there is no difference in the two drugs .They both have the same components just made by different companies with different brand names. So I would advise you not to worry a lot about this.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
