ORTHO TRI-CYCLEN
More Than Contraception
ORTHO TRI-CYCLEN:
a birth control pill that provides more than contraception.

Birth control pills have changed a great deal since their introduction in the 1960's. Today, the levels of hormones in pills provide a lower dose of hormones compared with older formulations, while retaining the same degree of effectiveness (greater than 99% when taken correctly).

And, besides preventing pregnancy, ORTHO TRI-CYCLEN is clinically proven to treat acne and help your skin look better.

Furthermore, pills like ORTHO TRI-CYCLEN may also provide you with other benefits you might not have realized. They could reduce your menstrual cramps. Make your cycles more regular. And lighten your flow. In addition, they could lower your risk of certain cancers, breast cysts and pelvic inflammatory disease. These are just some of the benefits of ORTHO TRI-CYCLEN.

ORTHO TRI-CYCLEN is a phasic birth control pill—which means you get a low dose pill that provides varying amounts of hormones over the course of your cycle while retaining the effectiveness. It's come a long way from the 1960's.
