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 healing of other conditions as recommended by your physician.
How Taken
Ortho Tri-Cyclen comes in pills to take by mouth. Then take one tablet daily, the time interval between pills should not be more than 24 hours. It is advised to take the pills at the same time daily (e.g. before bed, with food intake, or first thing in the morning). If you take your drugs at night, this can reduce nausea or headache that you may experience while taking birth control tablets. Avoid missing drugs 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 may feel sick to your stomach during the first 13 packs of tablets. You should never stop taking drugs if you feel sick. This side effect usually goes away. If it stays for long, you should call your physician. If you find it difficult remembering to take the drug at the right time, you should discuss with your physician the use of another birth control method.
More Information
Before Ortho Tri-Cyclen is ordered, you will have to be examined by your physician. Tell your doctor your medical history. You should be re-examined at least once a year. Do not miss appointments with your healthcare provider, as it is best to determine any side effects at an early stage. This pill has to be used only for the purpose it has been ordered. Ortho Tri-Cyclen doesn't protect from HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases.
