The role of Triphasil:
Triphasil is an oral contraceptive / birth control pill used in the prevention
of pregnancy. It is also used to regulate menstrual cycles and to treat
acne as well. This medication is also prescribed for emergency
contraception (‘morning after’ pill). It is recommended that you always use this
medication as advised by your doctor. Triphasil acts primarily by hindering the
ovulation process.

This drug is prepared with a combination of Estrogen and Progesterone hormones
known as Ethinyl Estradiol and Levonorgestrel respectively. These two active
ingredients prevent ovulation by thickening the cervical mucus, making it
difficult for sperms to enter the uterus, and preventing any ova or egg from
attaching itself to the uterine wall. This drug is taken orally with water and after
food consumption to avoid a stomach upset.

Triphasil should be taken every twenty four hours. In case you miss out a
dose, take it as soon as possible meaning that you can have two
doses in a day. However, if the elapsed time exceeds
more than 72 hours, you are advised to discontinue the medication and contact to your physician.
