TriNessa is a combination oral contraceptive pill that is commonly prescribed to women to prevent pregnancy. It contains a combination of two hormones, ethinyl estradiol and norgestimate, which work together to prevent ovulation and thicken cervical mucus to make it harder for sperm to reach the egg.
This medication is taken once daily at the same time each day for 28 days, with 21 active pills containing hormones and 7 inactive reminder pills. It is important to take TriNessa exactly as prescribed to ensure its effectiveness in preventing pregnancy.
In addition to its contraceptive benefits, TriNessa may also help regulate menstrual cycles, reduce menstrual cramps, and decrease the risk of developing ovarian cysts. Some women may also experience improvements in acne and excess hair growth while taking this medication.
As with any medication, there are potential side effects associated with TriNessa. These may include nausea, breast tenderness, headaches, and changes in mood. It is important to discuss any concerns or side effects with your healthcare provider.
It is important to note that TriNessa does not protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs), so it is important to use additional forms of protection, such as condoms, to reduce the risk of STIs.
If you are considering starting TriNessa or have any questions about this medication, please consult with your healthcare provider. They can provide personalized guidance and recommendations based on your individual health needs and concerns.
