hi! i have been on the xulane patch for 3 months and so far i've love it! It has regulated my period and i've had no negative symptoms. My pharmacy switched from xulane to zafemy and i am nervous that the brand will effect symptoms or cause issues has anybody tried both? should i be concerned at all with the brand change?

Zafemy and Xulane are both just generics of Ortho Evra. They have the same active ingredients and dosage, only difference is the name on the box.

Also you can try asking if they can get the Xulane patch in aswell

would i just have to contact my pharmacy to see if they can switch back to xulane?

Yeah just ask them if they’re able to get it in stock for you

They have the same active ingredient, but I have seen patients before that loved xulane and took zafemy because of stock issues and they hated it so definitely see if they can order it. Maybe the zafemy will work for u tho
