Ortho tri cyclen
Ortho tri cyclen is a FDA approved combined oral birth control pill that contains two different types of hormones. It contains synthetic oestrogen (ethinyl estradiol) and progestin (norgestimate). It is designed to prevent pregnancy in women who are 18 years old and above. This birth control pill is considered to provide best oral contraception with excellent pregnancy prevention rate of 99%, if taken as directed by the doctors. Ortho tri cyclen is a triphasic birth control pill, because of which there are three different 'phases' of pills in each pack, and the last week of tablets provide placebo effects. Each week having different amounts of hormones.
How does Ortho tri cyclen work?
Ortho tri cyclen releases oestrogen and progestin in low doses into your body. It prevents pregnancy by inhibiting the maturation and release of the eggs from the ovaries. It also works in two other ways to prevent conception. Firstly, it changes the cervical mucus, making it difficult for the sperm to enter the uterus. Secondly, in case there is a release of eggs from the ovaries, it alters the lining of uterus to prevent implantation of eggs. So in a way, Ortho tri cyclen provides complete protection to rule out any possibility of pregnancy.
Other benefits
Ortho tri cyclen is the only birth control pill that is also recommended for the treatment of mild acne problems. The clinical data suggests that 9 out of 10 women find it very effective in treating their acne problems than any other conventional medications. The main cause of the acne is the hormonal imbalance in the woman's body. Women have some levels of androgen (male hormones) in their body and an excessive production of this hormone can lead to acne. Ortho tri cyclen reduces androgen and regulates women's hormones to control acne flare-ups.
In addition to acne treatment, Ortho tri cyclen offers protection against ovarian cancer and pelvic inflammatory disease in women. It reduces pre-menstrual symptoms, bleeding, and painful periods. The menstrual periods are predicable, light, and short in nature. Above all, the effects of Ortho tri cyclen is reversible, which means as soon as women stop taking this pill, they can become pregnant.
