Question 1

hi. iv been on yaz for 2 years now. is it safe to switch from yaz to triphasil? back to back?

Accepted Answer

: Both "Yaz" and "Triphasil" are approve oral contraceptives, and taken punctually as directed are similarly effective. Start the Triphasil seven days after the last active pill for Yaz and the change should not compromise the contraceptive effectiveness.

Question 2

does stresam interfere with triphasil?

Accepted Answer

No: According to the company’s website it does not interact with birth control

Question 3

im on contraception pills (triphasil) and ovulate, is this normal?

Accepted Answer

No: If ovulation has been documented by testing(serum progesterone) and you are taking triphasil (ethinyl estradiol and levonorgestrel) every day at the same time each day, no it is not normal. It might be time for a "pinch hitter"(another pill type) as triphasil (ethinyl estradiol and levonorgestrel) may not be "stepping up to the plate" for you. Ask your md for advice.

Question 4

hi, my gf started using triphasil(1month). its the first time on this. she hast been feeling well lately. a dr didnt subscribe it to her. she went to the chemist to ask about contraceptives, and they said she must use this. must she see a dr?

Accepted Answer

YES: Birth control, STD screening and PAP smear seem logical. Triphasil is usually only available on prescription- not an over the counter product in the U.S.A.. It is her adult responsibility ( and yours) and get informed and cleared as well as sexually educated.

Question 5

i want to stop using triphasil. is it necessary to go to the dr for a check up or something? what can i do?

Accepted Answer

Triphasal: Estrogen/Progestin combination pill. This should not be an issue stopping on your own.

Question 6

good day

where do you start drinking triphasil contraception pills?

Accepted Answer

Unclear question: Why are you asking about a contraceptive pill meant for women?
It is a pill and is not for drinking.
Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/.
Get HPV vaccine. Wish you good health!

Question 7

i accidentlly took two of my triphasil (ethinyl estradiol and levonorgestrel) pills on the same day. problem?

Accepted Answer

No: The only problem with taking two pills in one day is the small chance of nausea.  Keep taking the pill pack as you normally would, and you'll finish one day early before your scheduled 7 day menstrual period -- in this case, however, it'll be 8 days and then you'll start another pill pack.

Question 8

could taking two of my triphasil (ethinyl estradiol and levonorgestrel) pills on the same day cause an overdose?

Accepted Answer

No: If you missed the dose the day before, it is actually recommended you take both with the next dose or as soon as you remember. The only side effect may be nausea with the increased dose. Missing dose repeatedly may lead to pregnancy or irregular bleeding.

Question 9

im on birth control pills (triphasil) and think i ovulate, is this normal?

Accepted Answer

No: If you are taking the pill every day at the same time each day, it is unlikely that you are ovulating as the pill suppresses ovulation.

Question 10

hi all
is it normal to have severe period pains a week before your period is due. i am on triphasil and was on a antibiotic as well.
pain lasted 2days?

Accepted Answer

Pelvic pain: Pelvic pain is complex as there are several organs in the pelvis. The ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, cervix, bladder, appendix, intestines, colon and rectum can all be the source. Pelvic pain requires and examination to help organize the evaluation. If this happens every month it could be related to your period. If this is a one time thing then other causes should be considered
