Generic Estrace. As all of the patents for Estrace (estradiol) have expired, several companies have chosen to manufacture a generic version of the drug. The generic versions are sold in three strengths: estradiol 0.5 mg, estradiol 1 mg, and estradiol 2 mg.
Generic Alesse. Five generic versions of Alesse are available: Aviane, Falmina, Levonorgestrel and Ethinyl Estradiol, Lutera, and Orsythia. Generic Alesse is equivalent to brand-name Alesse (the generic versions have been given an AB rating by the FDA). However, generic Alesse is allowed to have different inactive ingredients, such as fillers or dyes, which may cause problems for people with certain sensitivities.
