Ortho Tri-Cyclen is a combination oral contraceptive pill that contains two hormones: estrogen and progestin. It is primarily used to prevent pregnancy, regulate menstrual cycles, and reduce acne in some women. The pill is taken in a specific cycle of three different hormone doses over a 28-day period. Patients typically take one pill daily for 21 days, followed by a 7-day break during which they may experience a withdrawal bleed similar to a menstrual period. It is important to consult a healthcare provider before starting Ortho Tri-Cyclen to discuss potential side effects and ensure it is appropriate for individual health needs.
