FAQ

• How Long Does It Take for TriNessa to Work?

  TriNessa will typically work after you’ve taken the pill for seven consecutive days. However, some physicians recommend using a backup form of birth control until you’ve taken TriNessa for 21 consecutive days. Speak with your doctor about your menstrual cycle and start date to find the most reliable way to prevent pregnancy.

• Does TriNessa Protect Against Other Diseases and Infections?

  TriNessa is effective only for preventing pregnancy. It does not protect against HIV, sexually transmitted diseases, or sexually transmitted infections. To protect against these, you should use a barrier birth control method, such as condoms.

• Can I Take TriNessa With Other Medications?

  Certain medications can make your birth control less effective. These include griseofulvin, rifamycins, modafinil, St. John’s Wort, HIV medications, and seizure medications. There are also several medications that can interact with TriNessa’s ingredients. These include aromatase inhibitors, tamoxifen, ospemifene, tizanidine, and tranexamic acid. Combination medications used to treat chronic hepatitis C can also interact with TriNessa. Always tell  your doctor about any other medications that you’re taking.

• What Are the Side Effects of TriNessa?

  Patients taking TriNessa may experience nausea, vomiting, bloating, headaches, breast tenderness, weight gain, or fluid retention in the ankles or feet. Though this pill will ultimately help regulate your periods, you may experience irregular periods and spotting between periods, particularly during the first few months of taking this medication.

  The severe side effects associated with TriNessa include high blood pressure and blood clots. Speak with your doctor if you experience any symptoms associated with these conditions. It is important to address them as early as possible.

• What Precautions Should I Take With TriNessa?

  As with all birth control pills, serious, though unlikely, side effects have been recorded in patients who are taking TriNessa. You should speak with your doctor immediately if these side effects appear. TriNessa can increase your risk of blood clots, hypertension, migraines, eye problems, depression, and liver problems. If you have hyperlipidemia, you should monitor your condition closely while taking TriNessa because this pill may elevate your lipid levels. This pill may increase your risk for breast, uterine, or ovarian cancer. Check regularly for breast lumps, and talk to your doctor if you experience any new or unusual abdominal pain.
