The two are supposedly equally effective--both claiming 99%. Recently, reports have been released claiming the patch is associated with a slightly higher incidence of more serious side effects (such as blood clots) but i'm not sure how reliable these are. It really comes down to a matter of preference. Can you remember to take a pill at the same time everyday? Do you swim/ exercise/ bathe often (which may affect the adhesiveness of the patch)? I didn't personally like the patch, but my best friend loves it.

The patch is if u have troubles remembering @ what time u have to take the pill....In my personal opinion I prefer the patch because i'm not good @ taking pills every single day @ the same time ( I have bad memory hehehehe)....
