Hatti replied: "As far as a generic verses a brand name in this case there is no difference. It is all estrogen based and that is what works. Many do not have any side effects. Some have a little bloating or like a mild morning sickness for a few days but that goes away quickly. Don't worry about it be safe not sorry!!"
howdy replied: "no difference between them both. think of it as the store brand which it cheaper and the name brand which cost more. maybe your insurance did't cover the name brand, but covered the "store brand""
Side effects for first time Alesse users? I am 16 years old and have just gotten a prescription for Alesse to treat mild acne. I'm also hoping it will help with my killer cramps that make it impossible for me to even walk... In the list of drugs you should not take with it, acetaminophen is listed. Like Advil? i am not sexualy active and i was wondering if the advil just effects the birth control aspects of the pill, or are there actual "drug interactions" that occur? can i take advil for headaches/pain still?
Also, i am pretty nervous because i have heard some stories of weight gain because of Alesse. At 5'9' and 145, i have an athletic build, so most of it is muscle. but i dont want to gain any more weight.
lastly, i know that in the first few months of taking BC you get a lot of spotting. i dont know if i'm the only one, but i like to keep my underwear pretty. should i just wear pantyliners all the time now?
also, please dont just tell me to talk to my doctor. i have. im just a nervous nellie and i want as many opinions as i can get
sorry its so long, but thanks to anyone who will answer

I know that you don't want to talk to your doctor about this but the only way to know is for them to see what they say.
The weight gain that can occur with the pill such as Alesse is mostly water because of the hormones in the medication.
As for the spotting, you can start wearing pantyliners around the time that you start spotting. If you notice a spot on your panties (such as when you are at school) then when you go home just run the panties under some cold water and that will help with clearing out the stain.
I am also going to give you the link to a site that may help you find more information. The link is at:

what is the difference between Alesse and Aviane? I went to get my prescription of Alesse when I was told it had been discontinued and switched to a generic (and much cheaper!) Aviane?
Now i have been doing some research online and have found that it can make a big differences in some cases (bad nausea, bloating, migraines, weight gain!) and others that it had made no difference at all.?
so i wanted to know what is the difference between the tow then? do both of them have the same ingredients and amount of ingredients in them?
or why has Aviane had some side effects when Alesse had not?]
thanks !
Brian replied: "All what concerns the ingredients and the chemicals are the same. In the US, a brand name drug and a generic drug have to be equivalent, meaning that they have to have the same medical effect. And generic of course, should be much cheaper, cause it is produced by a different manufacturer. Actually, when it comes to generic Aviane, they say it has more side effects and lowers the sexual drive, while generic Alesse does not. After Walgreen's pharmacy told my gf they will only fill her prescription for Alesse with Avaine, we went online and purchased generic Alesse with the reputable PharmacyNextDoor.com We have to wait about 10 days before we got the medications, but oh well, at least that is what my wife has been prescribed!
