OK so I used to take generic Yaz called Gianvi. For whatever reason the pharmacy switched to Loryna. Its only been a month and a half but it doesn't seem to be helping and I've been feeling nauseous too. Why do these pharmacies keep switching pulls? We as paying customers should have the final say. I'm going tyo call the pharmacy and see if they can order me Gianvi .

My obgyn told me to take name brand only, especially for acne. She said there are slight changes that can cause issues if you are sensitive.

thanks. Do you know if your doctor writes No Substitute will your insurance cover it?

Yes...mine did though I had to pay 40 per month for Yasmin. It was worth every penny though!

I was only ever on Yasmin name brand. First time on...I honestly do not recall! Sorry. I know it worked dramatically Bc for the 7 years I was on it I used nothing else!
Went on after my daughter was done nursing and had no initial breakouts...just worked
