Best birth control pill I've ever been on. I'm in my 40's and a few years ago started with Yasmin and then moved to the generic Ocella. Now my insurance company has moved to Zarah and it agrees with me the best for clear skin, weight regulation; mood, and libido. All good.

I could have not recommended such an amazing birth control such as Zarah or Ocella! I NEVER had a problem and I'm so upset that my doctor had to change it :( I couldn't complain about anything...life was great always knew when my period would start and end!

I switched to Zarah when my insurance copay tripled for Yasmin. Since the switch, I've been experiencing breast tenderness, bloating, and a marked increase in acne. I'm going to figure out a way to pay for the Yasmin because these side effects are so not worth the cheaper copay.
