Triphasil (Enpresse)
 |
TRIPHASIL is an oral contraceptive.
Oral contraceptives are commonly known as 'the Pill'. TRIPHASIL
pills contain two active ingredients (levonorgestrel and ethinyloestradiol)
that can stop you from becoming pregnant if taken correctly.
They are similar to hormones your body normally produces. |
Triphasil Medical Information:
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 Use 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 is being
used as a "morning after" pill.
Triphasil Side Effects: 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.
Triphasil Precautions: 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, Triphasil 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. Triphasil 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 Drug 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
Triphasil. 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.
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.
Notes: Do not allow anyone else
to take Triphasil. Keep all appointments with your doctor
and the laboratory. You should have a complete physical examination,
including blood pressure measurements, breast and pelvic examinations,
and a PAP test (for vaginal cancer), at least once a year. Follow
your doctor's instructions for examining your own breasts, and
report any lumps immediately. A manufacturer's fact sheet about
Triphasil should be dispensed with each prescription. Read the
information carefully. Ask your doctor or pharmacist any questions
you may have.
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.
