Triphasil information
Triphasil is a birth-control pill, used to prevent pregnancy. It may also be used to regulate a woman's menstrual cycle.
Using Triphasil
Take exactly as directed by your doctor. Take Triphasil with food to prevent stomach upset. Try to take it at the same time each day, as this may help you remember to take it. Triphasil takes a while to come into effect: use a back-up method of birth control for the first week of taking it. If you were prescribed Triphasil as a "morning after" pill or for any other purpose, follow your doctor's directions precisely.
How to store Triphasil
Store at room temp. away from sunlight and moisture. Keep out of the reach of children.
What to do on a missed Triphasil Dosge
If you miss one pill, take it as soon as you remember, or take two pills the next day. Ovulation is unlikely to occur, but to be safe, you may want to use a back-up method of birth control (such as condoms) for the following seven days.
If you miss two days in a row, take the two pills as soon as you remember. Alternatively, make up the dose by taking three pills the next day (the regular dose + the two doses you missed) or by taking a double dose for the next two days (the regular dose + a dose you missed, each day). There is a chance of ovulation, so you must use a back-up method of birth control for at least seven days after that. To be entirely sure, use a back-up method of birth control until you get your next period.
If you miss three days in a row, throw away the package, count seven days from the last day on which you took a pill, and then start a new package (take the first pill on the 7th day after you took the last pill) Use a back-up form of birth control until you have taken a pill for seven days in a row. During the seven days in which you are not taking pills, you should get your period. If you do not, you should have a pregnancy test before you start the next package of pills.
