A member asked:

I started ortho tri cyclin lo 5 days ago. i have only had very mild nausea. will this side effect worsen with the more pills i take?

Dr. G. Wen answered

Mostly okay: Mostly your body will take it well as time goes, which means the side effects will gradually disappear as you get used to it. But if not, contact to your physician and have it changed to a different brand, or from pills to other means of contraceptives.
