Is TriNessa really bad for you?

Question

I went to the pharmacy to pick up Ortho-Tricyclen today and they gave me TriNessa instead. I thought it would be fine but then I looked on some websites and people reported absolutely awful side-effects. Is this for real? Do you think I should go ahead and take the pills or demand the name brand instead?

Answer 1

TriNessia is Ortho-TriCyclen. They are the same. The side effect profile is exactly the same. The only different might be some of the inert ingredients. You could have done a search for Ortho-TriCyclen and find the same kinds of reports. There is no need to spend the extra money.
