Triquilar

Product Overview

Triquilar is a medication containing the active ingredient Levonorgestrel. It is a combined oral contraceptive pill that combines two hormones: levonorgestrel, a progestin, and ethinyl estradiol, an estrogen. Triquilar is designed to prevent pregnancy by inhibiting ovulation, thickening cervical mucus to impede sperm penetration, and thinning the uterine lining to prevent implantation of a fertilized egg. This combination of hormones provides an effective method of birth control when taken as directed.

Uses

Triquilar is primarily used as a contraceptive to prevent pregnancy. It is also prescribed to regulate menstrual cycles, reduce menstrual cramps, and treat acne in some cases. Additionally, Triquilar may be used for other off-label purposes as determined by a healthcare provider.

How to Use

To use Triquilar, take one tablet by mouth at the same time each day, with or without food. Start the pack on the first day of your menstrual period for immediate protection against pregnancy, or on the first Sunday after your period starts. Follow the instructions provided with the packaging carefully. If you miss a dose, follow the instructions provided or consult your healthcare provider.

How it Works

Triquilar works by suppressing ovulation, the release of an egg from the ovary. It also thickens cervical mucus, making it difficult for sperm to penetrate, and thins the uterine lining, preventing the implantation of a fertilized egg. These actions combined help to prevent pregnancy when the medication is taken correctly.

Dosage and Administration

The typical dosage of Triquilar is one tablet daily for 21 consecutive days, followed by a 7-day break during which menstruation occurs. After the 7-day break, start a new pack, regardless of whether menstruation has finished. It is essential to take the medication at the same time each day to maintain its effectiveness.

Common Side Effects

Warnings

Triquilar may not be suitable for everyone and may increase the risk of certain health conditions, including blood clots, heart attack, stroke, and breast cancer. It is important to discuss your medical history and any risk factors with your healthcare provider before starting Triquilar.
