What's the difference between Seasonale & Quasense?
I've been on Seasonale (the extended-cycle birth control pill) for almost a year and this time, when I went to get my prescription refilled, they gave me the generic brand Quasense instead. I suppose this probably means there is no difference, but I am a little worried because it took me a while to adjust to Seasonale, it was a terrible process and I don't want to have to adjust again. Have any other women switched from Seasonale to Quasense? Did you notice any changes in side effects or your hormonal balances?
Answer:
There's no difference....Quasense is the generic for Seasonale. Aside from saving a BUNCH of money by not paying the stupid pharmaceutical company for the name brand, there should be absolutely NO difference. However, if you DO notice a problem, contact your prescribing doctor and have them call the pharmacy and specify NO GENERIC SUBSTITUTIONS.
