Ortho Tri-Cyclen® (norgestimate/ethinyl estradiol) is made by Ortho-McNeil Pharmaceutical, Inc. Generic versions of the drug are made by various manufacturers and there are several equivalent products such as Tri-Sprintec®, made by Barr Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and TriNessa®, made by Watson Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
Ortho Tri-Cyclen® is a prescription oral contraceptive that is also commonly used for treating acne. Like other combined oral contraceptives it helps prevent pregnancies by stopping ovulation, changing the cervical mucus, and altering the lining of the uterus.
There is only one standard dose of Ortho Tri-Cyclen, regardless of your age, weight, or medical conditions. As always, do not adjust your dose unless your healthcare provider specifically instructs you to do so. Each pack of Ortho Tri-Cyclen contains 28 pills. Be sure to take them in order because Ortho Tri-Cyclen is a triphasic birth control pill, which means that there are three different "phases" of pills in each pack, plus the last week of tablets with no active ingredients. Each week has a different amount of the progesterone hormone in the tablet. This is why it is important to take the pills in the correct order. The triphasic dosage is as follows.
• Tablets 1 to 7 -- 0.180 mg of norgestimate and 0.035 mg of ethinyl estradiol per tablet
• Tablets 8 to 14 -- 0.215 mg of norgestimate and 0.035 mg of ethinyl estradiol per tablet
• Tablets 15 to 21 -- 0.250 mg of norgestimate and 0.035 mg of ethinyl estradiol per tablet
• Tablets 22 to 28 -- no active ingredients.
Be sure to take them in order. Once you finish a pack, start a new pack right away. You will probably start your period during the last seven days of the pack.
Ortho Tri-Cyclen tablets should be kept in their original package. The packaging is designed to help you remember to take the tablets each day and to take the pills in the correct order. Store your Ortho Tri-Cyclen at room temperature away from moisture and heat and Keep this and all other medications out of the reach of children.
Missing doses of Ortho Tri-Cyclen increases the risk of pregnancy. What you should do depends on how many tablets you have missed and where exactly you are in your cycle.
