Triregol

Description

TriRegol is a combined oral contraceptive, one of a group of drugs often referred to as the Pill. The Pill provides a reliable, reversible method of contraception. TriRegol contains two types of hormone: an oestrogen, ethinylestradiol, and a progestogen, levonorgestrel. It is a triphasic contraceptive. This means that there are three levels of hormones in each pack which ref lect the changing levels in your normal menstrual cycle. These hormones stop the ovary from releasing an egg each month. They also thicken the mucus at the neck of the womb making it more diff icult for the sperm to reach the egg, and alter the lining of the womb to make it less likely to accept a fertilised egg.

Remember:

• TriRegol needs to be taken as directed to prevent pregnancy
• Combined oral contraceptive pills like TriRegol will not protect you against sexually transmitted diseases (such as AIDS). Only condoms can do this.
