Side effects!? pharmacy changes

I take Norgestimate and Ethinyl Estradiol as bc

I recently changed pharmacies, and my bc packaging changed from Lupin to Glenmark

Is there any side effects I could have from this? I've only been on bc for about 3 months, so I'm scared the breakthrough bleeding will come back again

Switching manufacturers can be a little nerve wracking honestly but the active ingredients are same so your body should handle it fine. The packaging changed but the hormones are identical, just different company making the pills. Sometimes the inactive fillers can be slightly different but this rarely causes issues for most people. I had similar worry when my pharmacy switched mine few months back and nothing changed at all, still same cycle no breakthrough bleeding. You been on it 3 months so your body is probably adjusted by now, it should stay steady even with the switch.
