Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo (Tri-Sprintec)

Ortho Tri-Cyclen, first introduced in 1992 by Ortho-McNeil, is a birth control pill used to prevent pregnancy. It is also prescribed to treat severe acne. Ortho Tri-Cyclen is a triphasic birth control pill - which means you get a low dose pill that provides varying amounts of hormones over the course of your cycle while retaining the effectiveness.

Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo
Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo delivers a low level of hormones to prevent pregnancy. It delivers 3 different levels of progestin with 1 level of estrogen throughout your cycle.

While both Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo and Ortho Tri-Cyclen deliver low levels of progestin over the course of your cycle, the "Lo" formulation delivers a lower amount of estrogen - 25 mcg compared to 35 mcg.

How Ortho Tri-Cyclen works?

Oral Contraception
It works by preventing ovulation. The pill also causes the cervical mucus to become thick, making it difficult for sperm to enter the uterus. The changes in the the endometrium reduce the likelihood of implantation.

Acne
The combination of ethinyl estradiol and norgestimate may increase sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) and decrease free testosterone resulting in a decrease in the severity of acne.

How to use

When you begin to use Ortho Tri-Cyclen, your body will require at least 7 days to adjust before a pregnancy will be prevented. You will need to use an additional birth control method for at least 7 days. Some doctors recommend using an additional method of birth control for the first cycle (or 3 weeks) to ensure full protection.

Try to take the doses no more than 24 hours apart to reduce the possibility of side effects and to prevent pregnancy. Since one of the most important factors in the proper use of oral contraceptives is taking every dose exactly on schedule, you should never let your tablet supply run out. When possible, try to keep an extra month's supply of tablets on hand and replace it monthly.

It is very important that you keep the tablets in their original container and take the tablets in the same order that they appear in the container. The containers help you keep track of which tablets to take next. Different colored tablets in the same package contain different amounts of hormones or are placebos (tablets that do not contain hormones). The effectiveness of the medicine is reduced if the tablets are taken out of order.

Missing a pill increases your risk of becoming pregnant.

If you miss one "active" pill, take two pills on the day that you remember. Then take one pill per day for the rest of the pack.

If you miss two "active" pills in a row in week one or two, take two pills per day for two days in a row. Then take one pill per day for the rest of the pack. Use back-up birth control for at least 7 days following the missed pills.

If you miss two "active" pills in a row in week three, or if you miss three pills in a row during any of the first 3 weeks, throw out the rest of the pack and start a new one the same day if you are a Day 1 starter. If you are a Sunday starter, keep taking a pill every day until Sunday. On Sunday, throw out the rest of the pack and start a new one that day.
