   Switching from brand name to generic BC (Acne board)

26th November 2005
Just another question. I suffered from acne as an early teen (now 29) Thanks to tetracycline, we got it cleared up and I never really had problems other than basic PMS acne.
I have been on maybe 4 types of BC in my almost 12 years on it with relatively no change. The last few years, I have been on Low estrogen Mircette. Recently I changed health care providers and had to switch to Kariva, the generic brand. Since the switch two months ago I have had what looks like prickly heat (small red pimples) all over my chest and neck. I was very sick at the beginning of the switch and waas prescribed Zithromax, at first I thought they were heat pimples from having a fever, but I have been better for over a month and a half.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Is my only option to shell out of pocket for the Mircette?
