caziant and ortho tri-cyclen lo are both birth control pills that contain a combination of estrogen and progestins known as "tri-phasic" oral contraceptives. this means that each pill pack has three different strengths of hormones. the difference between these two brands is that ortho tri-cyclen lo contains norgestimate and caziant contains desogestrel – two similar but different version of progestin. as far as efficacy goes they are equally effective. although you shouldn't notice much difference if you experience any changes in how you feel you should talk to your health care provider.
