I have been taking Aviane, but my insurance changed their formulary. They called me today and asked if I wanted to change to another one. They assured me it is the same makeup, so I said ok. I haven't noticed any problems with bc. I take them for 4 months on have a period and start again. A lot of people say their IC flares around their period so bc might be helpful in that case.Link to the patient information, everything from What is IC? to Disability
