Triquilar information

Triquilar Indications

Triquilar is a drug that belongs to a common class of medicines called oral contraceptives (also known as OCs, the Pill, BCs, birth control pills or BC tablets. Triquilar has 2 types of different hormones progestins (proh-JES-tins) and estrogens (ES-troh-jenz). If taken properly (as your doctor instructed you to), a treatment with Triquilar helps prevent an unwanted pregnancy. Triquilar works by stopping the patient's egg from completely developing itself each month. Therefore, the egg cannot unite with a sperm and fertilization has been successfully prevented. Other oral contraceptives can achieve the same goal through other different ways (ask your doctor for further information).
Triquilar is normally indicated to women who wish to avoid an unwanted pregnancy. However, Triquilar could also be indicated for other purposes that have not been mentioned in this guide.
