Ortho tricyclen Side Effects

Ortho tricyclen side effects are usually not anything to worry about and usually any Ortho tricyclen side effects you may notice do not last long.

However, some side effects of Ortho tricyclen may be increased or made worse if you do not lead a relatively healthy lifestyle. Before getting into the side effects of Ortho tricyclen you should learn what it is and what it does.

Ortho tricyclen is a combination of estrogen and progestin used to prevent pregnancy. Ortho tricyclen also has other applications such as regulating your menstrual cycle, treating symptoms of menopause or treating other conditions that your doctor may suggest.

Ortho tricyclen side effects can be made worse, plus you may get more unknown Ortho tricyclen side effects if you don’t follow the directions for using Ortho tricyclen that your doctor has given you.

It’s suggested that to try and lessen any Ortho tricyclen side effects you should take it at the same time every day, not more than 24 hours apart.

Most of the Ortho tricyclen side effects are not dangerous and do not last very long. Some of the Ortho tricyclen side effects include: nausea, vomiting, bleeding between menstrual periods, breast tenderness, or weight change.

However, as with the side effects of all drug prescriptions, if the Ortho tricyclen side effects persist or get worse, inform your doctor. Also, if you experience persistent or recurrent abnormal vaginal bleeding, a missed menstrual period, dizziness or fainting, swelling of fingers or ankles, headache, or difficulty wearing contact lenses contact your doctor.

Some Ortho tricyclen side effects that can appear if you are a smoker include and increased risk of stroke, heart attack, blood clots, high blood pressure, or other diseases of the heart and blood vessels.
