Triadene 3 Month Calendar Pack

Brand
Pill Type	Combined Pill
How To Take Triadene	1 Pill daily for 21 days followed by a 7 day break

This low-dose contraceptive contains two types of female sex hormones, oestrogen and progestogen. These hormones stop you getting pregnant by working in three ways: by preventing an egg being released from your ovaries; by making the fluid (mucus) in your cervix thicker, which makes it more difficult for sperm to enter the womb; and by preventing the lining of your womb thickening enough for an egg to grow in it.

Five important things to know about the Pill.

• The Pill is a reliable contraceptive and may reduce your risk of cancer of the ovary and womb if used in the long term.
• The Pill will not protect you against sexually transmitted diseases. 
• This medicine can increase your risk of problems such as blood clots and breast cancer. 
• Some women should not take the Pill because of current medical problems or illnesses. Please read this leaflet to make sure Triadene is right for you.
• To prevent pregnancy it is important to take Triadene as instructed and start each pack on time. Please make sure that you understand what to do if you miss a pill or if you think you are pregnant.

How To Take Triadene:

Triadene comes in strips of 21 pills (6 beige, 5 dark brown and 10 white tablets), each marked with a number.

• Take your pill at the same time every day.
• Start by taking pill number 1 and mark that day of the week under the heading “I took my first pill on” by piercing the small unnumbered foil disc. This will remind you on which day you started taking the course of pills.
• Follow the direction of the arrows on the strip. Take one pill each day, until you have finished all 21 pills.
• Swallow each pill whole, with water if necessary. Do not chew the pill.
• After you have taken all 21 pills in the strip, you have seven days when you take no pills.

Within a few days of taking the last pill from the strip, you should have a withdrawal bleed like a period. This bleed may not have finished when it is time to start your next strip of pills. You don’t need to use extra contraception during these seven pill-free days – as long as you have taken your pills correctly and start the next strip of pills on time
