Drug Uses
Ortho Tri-Cyclen contains a combination of estrogen and progestin hormones, which is used for preventing pregnancy. It may also be used for regulation of the menstrual cycle, for healing symptoms of menopause, or curing of other conditions as determined by your doctor.
How Taken
Ortho Tri-Cyclen comes in tablets to take by mouth. Then take one pill a day, the time interval between tablets should never be more than 24 hours. It is prescribed to take the pills at the same time every day (e.g. before bed, with food intake, or first thing in the morning). If you take your pills at night, this can reduce nausea or headache that you may experience while taking birth control tablets. Avoid missing pills or starting the pack late. The more tablets are missed the higher the risk to get pregnant. You can have spotting, light bleeding or you can feel sick to your stomach during the first 13 packs of tablets. You shouldn't stop taking pills if you feel sick. This side effect regulary goes away. If it persists for long, you should contact your physician. If you find it difficult remembering to take the drug at the right time, you should discuss with your doctor the use of another birth control method.
