Triphasil Uses:
Triphasil is used to prevent pregnancy or to regulate your menstrual
cycle. Certain brands of birth control pills may be used for treating
acne or as a "morning after" pill for emergency contraception. Consult
your doctor or pharmacist. Use of Triphasil does not protect you
or your partner against sexually transmitted diseases (e.g., HIV,
gonorrhea).
How To Take Triphasil:
Take Triphasil with food or immediately after a meal to prevent
stomach upset. Try to take Triphasil at the same time each day.
This may help you to remember to take it. Learn proper use of your
particular brand of medication. Follow your dosing schedule carefully.
Be sure to ask your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions.
Use a supplemental form of birth control during the first week of
taking Triphasil since it takes a while to be effective. Follow
your doctor's directions exactly if this drug is being used as a
"morning after" pill.
Side Effects Of Triphasil:
Triphasil may cause dizziness, headache, lightheadedness, stomach
upset, bloating, or nausea. If these effects persist or worsen,
contact your doctor. Notify your doctor if you experience: severe
depression, groin or calf pain, sudden severe headache, chest pain,
shortness of breath, lumps in the breast, weakness or tingling in
the arms or legs, yellowing of the eyes or skin. If you notice other
effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.
Precautions With Triphasil:
Before you take Triphasil, tell your doctor your entire medical
history, including family medical history, especially: asthma, high
blood pressure, kidney disease, liver heart disease, stroke, history
of jaundice (yellowing skin/eyes) or high blood pressure during
pregnancy, excessive weight gain or fluid retention during menstrual
cycle, blood clots, heart attack, seizures, migraine headaches,
breast cancer, high blood level of cholesterol or lipids (fats),
diabetes, depression. Depending on strength, this drug may cause
a patchy, darkening of the skin on the face (melasma). Higher strengths
are more likely to cause melasma. Sunlight may intensify this darkening
and you may need to avoid prolonged sun exposure and sunlamps. Consult
your doctor regarding use of sunscreens and protective clothing.
It may take a long time for you to become pregnant after you stop
taking birth control pills. Consult your doctor. Do not smoke cigarettes.
Birth-control pills slightly increase your risk of strokes, blood
clots, high blood pressure, heart attacks, gallbladder disease,
vision problems, and liver tumors. Cigarette smoking (especially
15 or more cigarettes daily) and age (women older than 35/smokers
or 40/nonsmokers years of age) further increase the risk of stroke,
blood clots, high blood pressure and heart attacks. Ask your pharmacist
or doctor for a copy of the patient labeling which explains these
risks in more detail. Consult your doctor for any questions, including
possible use in nonsmokers over 40 years of age. If you are near-sighted
or wear contact lenses, you may develop vision problems. Also, your
tolerance of the lenses may decrease. Contact your eye doctor if
these problems occur. Before having surgery, including dental surgery,
tell the doctor that you take birth control pills. This drug must
not be used during pregnancy. If you become pregnant or think you
may be pregnant, inform your doctor immediately. Triphasil passes
into breast milk. This may affect milk production and may have harmful
effects on a nursing infant. Consult your doctor before breast-feeding.
Triphasil Interactions:
Tell your doctor what prescription and nonprescription drugs you
are taking. Drugs that may decrease the effectiveness of the pill
include: griseofulvin, many antibiotics (e.g., penicillins, macrolides,
tetracyclines, sulfas, cephalosporins), chloramphenicol, many seizure
medications (e.g., phenytoin, barbiturates, primidone, carbamazepine),
dapsone, rifamycins (e.g., rifampin), modafinil, nevirapine, nelfinavir,
ritonavir, St John's wort, troglitazone. Ask your doctor if you
should use additional birth control methods while taking any of
the drugs mentioned above while taking birth control pills. Also
tell your doctor if you use: thyroid hormone drugs, certain benzodiazepines
(e.g., diazepam, chlordiazepoxide), prednisone-like drugs, certain
antidepressants (e.g., tricyclics), beta-blockers (e.g., metoprolol),
"blood thinners" (anticoagulants such as warfarin), insulin. This
product can affect the results of certain lab tests (e.g., thyroid).
Inform all laboratory personnel that you use this drug. Birth control
pills may significantly intensify the effects of alcohol. Consult
your doctor or pharmacist about this. Do not start or stop any medicine
without doctor or pharmacist approval.
Triphasil Missed Dose:
Missed dose advice differs and depends on the brand used, and the
number of doses missed. Refer to the product package information
for advice on missed doses. Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you
have any questions.
Triphasil OverDose:
If overdose is suspected, contact your local poison control center
or emergency room immediately. Symptoms of overdose may include
nausea and vomiting. Females may experience vaginal bleeding.
Triphasil Storage:
Store triphasil at room temperature between 59 and 86 degrees F (between 15
and 30 degrees C) away from moisture and sunlight. Do not store
in the bathroom.
