Trivora Directions

Take Trivora at the same time every day.








Trivora-28 is an oral contraceptive, often prescribed as a generic alternative to Triphasil. When taken properly, Trivora is effective at preventing pregnancy and can reduce the number of days your menstrual period lasts. It can also diminish side effects associated with your period, including cramping and muscle aches. A combination pill, Trivora doses include the hormones levonorgestrel and ethinyl estradiol. Pills come in rectangular blister packs that contain 28 pills each -- composed of three active phases and a fourth, placebo phase.








Instructions


Sunday Start


1. Select a backup method of birth control to use during the first seven days you take Trivora.


2. Take your first pill on the first Sunday after your period starts. Pills in the first phase are blue. Take one blue pill a day for six days.


3. Take one white pill a day for five days.


4. Take one pink pill a day for 10 days. This is the final active-pill phase of the pill packet.


5. Take one peach pill a day for seven days. You should get your menstrual period during this phase, though spotting is possible during other phases when you begin taking Trivora.


6. Repeat steps 2 through 5 for each new packet while using Trivora-28 as your contraceptive.
