Ortho Tri-Cyclen

If you are searching for the perfect birth control I have news for you, you will probably never find it. With so many types of birth control available today: patches, pills and shots, there is no wonder that choosing the best fit for you is a hard job. If you are like the majority of women in American, the birth control pill is the birth control of choice. Ortho tri-cyclen is an oral contraceptive, taken everyday to prevent pregnancy. Ortho tri cyclen comes in the regular strength and in the new ortho tri-cyclen lo, which the lowest dose of hormones has approved by the FDA as effective. So why take ortho tri-cyclen? According to claims made by the makers of the drug, women who take in ortho tri-cyclen have clear skin. They also claim that your period may be gentler and shorter durations. Whether or not this is true for all women, still remains to be seen.

Both ortho tri-cyclen and ortho tricyclen lo consists of two hormones called norgestimate and ethinyl estradiol, which prevents the ovaries from releasing eggs. They also increase cervical mucus which makes it harder for sperm to reach the egg and a fertilized egg to attach to the uterus. However, in order to be sure that you are fully protected from pregnancy, you should take ortho tri-cyclen every day, making sure not to skip a pill. Stay on schedule and when you get low, get more before you run out. If all else fails and you do run out of pills, it is possible to buy ortho tri-cyclen or ortho tri-cyclen lo online and get next day or overnight delivery. Just make certain you purchase from a reputable online pharmacy.

Ortho tri-cyclen side effects are generally mild. They may include nausea, vomiting, bloating and water retention, breast tenderness and or swelling, freckles and darkening of the facial skin, excess hair growth, and weight gain, vaginal itching, decreased sex drive, fatigue, nervousness and dizziness. These side effects are common of almost every contraceptive pill. Your side effects may be harsh or very minimal, everyone is different. Ortho tri-cyclen low may carry the least chance of gaining weight because of the low dose of hormones, but it has yet to be proven.

You should be aware that there are medications that decrease the efficacy of Ortho tri-cyclen. Such medicines include certain antibiotics, anti-seizure medications, barbiturates, and medications used to treat tuberculosis. If you are taking or plan on taking any medications you should first consult your doctor.
