What Trifeme is used for

Trifeme is an oral contraceptive, commonly known as a “birth control pill” or “the Pill”. Trifeme tablets contain two hormones (levonorgestrel and ethinylestradiol), which prevent you from becoming pregnant if taken correctly. They are similar to the hormones that your body normally produces.
Trifeme prevents pregnancy in several ways:
It inhibits the egg release by stopping it maturing
It changes the cervical mucus consistency making it difficult for the sperm to reach the egg
It changes the lining of the uterus making it less suitable for implantation.
Ask your doctor if you have any questions about why Trifeme has been prescribed for you.
Your doctor may have prescribed Trifeme for another reason.
This medicine is only available with a doctor’s prescription.
Trifeme is not habit-forming.
This medicine is not expected to affect your ability to drive a car or operate machinery.

How to take Trifeme

Follow the directions given to you by your doctor or pharmacist carefully.
They may differ from the information contained in this leaflet.
Each blister pack of Trifeme contains 21 active tablets: 6 tablets are brown, 5 tablets are white and 10 tablets are yellow in colour; and 7 inactive tablets which are red. Each blister strip of Trifeme provides a month of tablets. It is important that you take the tablets in the correct order. Following the arrows on the blister strip will assist you.

When to take Trifeme

You must take Trifeme every day, regardless of how often you have sex.
Trifeme will work best if you do not miss any tablets and take it at the same time each day. Taking your tablet at the same time each day will also help you remember when to take the tablets.
It does not matter if you take Trifeme before or after food.
If you are concerned about this, please speak to your doctor or pharmacist.

How to take it

Swallow Trifeme with a full glass of water.

Starting a hormonal contraceptive for the first time

To start taking Trifeme follow these steps:

1.On the first day of your menstrual period, take a tablet that matches the day of the week from the shaded section of the blister pack. If your period starts between Monday and Friday, your first tablet is red. If your period starts on a Saturday or Sunday, your first tablet is brown.

You must also use an additional non-hormonal method of contraception (such as condoms or a diaphragm, but not the rhythm or temperature methods) until you have taken a brown or white tablet in the correct order every day for 7 days without a break.

2.Then take one tablet each day; following the arrows so that you are taking the correct tablet for the day of the week until all tablets have gone.

3.You will have a ‘withdrawal’ bleed, similar to having a period, during the week of the red tablets.

If you do not have a period while you are taking the red tablets, and there is any chance that you have not followed all the instructions in this leaflet, contact your doctor to check if you are pregnant.

Going on to further blister packs

1.On the day after the last tablet in your previous blister pack, begin the next pack by taking a tablet from the shaded section of the blister pack. If the day of the week when you start your new pack is between Monday and Friday, your first tablet is red. If it is Saturday or Sunday, your first tablet is brown. Do this even if you are still bleeding.

2.Each new pack is started with a red or brown tablet on the same day as the first pack, so that you have 6 days on brown tablets, 5 days on white tablets, 10 days on yellow tablets and 7 days on red tablets. There is no break between packs.

If you start taking your new pack late, you must also use an additional non-hormonal method of contraception (such as condoms or a diaphragm, but not the rhythm or temperature methods) until you have taken a brown or white tablet in the correct order every day for 7 days without a break.

Switching from a different combined oral contraceptive

Follow these steps if your current oral contraceptive contains an oestrogen and a progestogen:

1.Stop taking your current oral contraceptive after you have taken the last active tablet. If your current oral contraceptive pack also contains inactive, or reminder tablets, do not take them.

2.The next day, take the first tablet from the shaded section that matches the day of the week. If the day of the week is between Monday and Friday, your first tablet is red. If the day of the week is Saturday or Sunday, your first tablet is brown.

You must also use an additional non-hormonal method of contraception (such as condoms or a diaphragm, but not the rhythm or temperature methods) until you have taken a brown or white tablet in the correct order every day for 7 days without a break.

3.Then take one tablet each day, following the arrows so that you are taking the correct tablet for the day of the week until all of the tablets have gone.

4.You will have a ‘withdrawal’ bleed, similar to having a period, during the week of red tablets.

If you do not have a period while you are taking the red tablets, and there is any chance that you have not followed all of the advice in this leaflet, contact your doctor to check if you are pregnant.

Switching from a progestogen-only contraceptive

You can stop taking a progestogen-only contraceptive tablet any day and start taking Trifeme the next day, at the same time.
If you have been using a progestogen-only implant, start taking Trifeme on the day the implant is removed.
If you have been using a progestogen-only injection, start taking Trifeme on the day the next injection would be due.
In all cases start Trifeme by taking a red or brown tablet from the shaded section that matches the day of the week.
You must also use an additional non-hormonal method of contraception (such as condoms or a diaphragm, but not the rhythm or temperature methods) until you have taken a brown or white tablet in the correct order every day for 7 days without a break.

After having a baby

If you have just had a baby, talk to your doctor before you start taking Trifeme.

After a miscarriage or abortion

Your doctor will advise you how to take Trifeme after a miscarriage or abortion.

How long to take Trifeme

Continue taking your medicine for as long as your doctor tells you.
Your doctor may prescribe Trifeme for long periods, until you no longer need or want contraception.
If you are not sure how long you should be taking Trifeme, ask your doctor.

If you forget to take your tablets

If you forget to take Trifeme every day, it may not work as well in protecting you from becoming pregnant.
Do not try to make up for missed doses by taking more than one tablet at a time.

Forgetting one or more active tablets

If you forget to take one active tablet (brown, white or yellow tablet) but it is less than 12 hours late, take the missed tablet immediately. Take the next tablet at your usual time, even if this means taking two active tablets in one day.
If you do not take the missed tablet within 12 hours, Trifeme may not work as well in protecting you from becoming pregnant.
If you forget to take one active tablet (brown, white or yellow tablet) and you remember more than 12 hours late, take the last missed tablet as soon as you remember and the next tablet at the usual time.
Continue to take your tablets at the usual time but you must also use an additional non-hormonal method of contraception (such as condoms or a diaphragm but not the rhythm or temperature methods) until you have taken an active tablet in the correct order every day for 7 days without a break. If you come to the end of the yellow tablets during this time, start the next pack straight away. Skip the 7 red tablets.

Forgetting two active tablets

If you forget two active tablets (brown, white or yellow tablets), take the last missed tablet as soon as you remember and then the next tablet at the usual time.
Continue to take your tablets at the usual time but you must also use an additional non-hormonal method of contraception (such as condoms or a diaphragm but not the rhythm or temperature methods) until you have taken an active tablet in the correct order every day for 7 days without a break. If you come to the end of the yellow tablets during this time, start the next pack straight away. Skip the 7 red tablets.
You may not have a withdrawal bleed until the end of this new pack, but you may have spotting or breakthrough bleeding when taking the active tablets. If you don’t have a withdrawal bleed at the end of the new pack, contact your doctor, who must make sure that you are not pregnant before you start the next pack.

Forgetting three or more active tablets

Contact your doctor for advice on what to do.

Forgetting a red tablet

If you miss one or more inactive, red tablets, leave them in the pack and do not worry.
However, if you miss red tablets and then forget to start the next pack on time, start as soon as you remember by taking a brown tablet that matches the day of the week. You must also use an additional non-hormonal method of contraception (such as condoms or a diaphragm but not the rhythm or temperature methods) until you have taken a brown or white tablet in the correct order every day for 7 days without a break.
If you are not sure what to do, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
If you are having trouble remembering to take Trifeme, ask your pharmacist for some hints.

If you vomit or have diarrhoea after taking Trifeme

If you have vomiting or diarrhoea within 4 hours of taking an active tablet (brown, white or yellow tablet), you must use an additional non-hormonal method of contraception (such as condoms or a diaphragm, but not the rhythm or temperature methods) until you have taken an active tablet in the correct order every day for 7 days without a break. If you come to the end of the yellow tablets during this time, start the next pack straight away. Skip the 7 red tablets.
The tablet may not have time to be absorbed properly and may not protect you from becoming pregnant.
If you have vomiting or diarrhoea after taking a red tablet, do not worry.

If you take too much (overdose)

Immediately telephone your doctor or the Poisons Information Centre (telephone 13 11 26) for advice, or go to Accident and Emergency at your nearest hospital if you think you or anyone else may have taken too much Trifeme.
Do this even if there are no signs of discomfort or poisoning.
You may need urgent medical attention.
Symptoms of an overdose may include:
Feeling sick or vomiting
Dizziness
Feeling sleepy or tired
Women may also experience menstrual bleeding.

While you are taking Trifeme

Things you must do

Tell any other doctors, dentists and pharmacists who are treating you that you are taking Trifeme.
If you are about to start taking any new medicines, tell the doctor or pharmacist that you are taking Trifeme.
If you become pregnant while taking Trifeme, see your doctor immediately.
If you are about to have any blood tests, tell your doctor you are taking Trifeme.
It may interfere with the results of some tests.
If you miss a period and you have taken your tablets correctly, continue taking your tablets as you would normally.
Sometimes you might not have a menstrual period while taking Trifeme.
If you miss a period and you have not taken your tablets correctly, keep taking your tablets and see your doctor immediately.
Not taking your tablets correctly includes missing one or more tablets or starting a new pack later than you should have.
If you miss two menstrual periods, stop taking your tablets and see your doctor, even if you have taken the tablets correctly. You must use a non-hormonal method of contraception, (such as condoms or a diaphragm) during this time.
Your doctor should make sure you are not pregnant before you start taking Trifeme again.
Have regular check-ups from your doctor, including a Pap smear.
Oral contraceptives should not be prescribed for longer than one year without your doctor carrying out a check-up. Your doctor will advise you how often you need a Pap smear. A Pap smear can detect abnormal cells lining the cervix. Sometimes abnormal cells can progress to cervical cancer. The most important risk factor for cervical cancer is persistent human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. However, cervical cancer has been reported to occur more often in women using an oral contraceptive for a long time. This finding may not be caused by the oral contraceptive, but may be related to sexual behaviour and other reasons.
Perform regular breast self-examination.
Risk factors for the development of breast cancer include increasing age, family history, obesity, never having had a baby, and late age for first full-term pregnancy. Breast cancer has also been found slightly more often in women who take oral contraceptives than in women of the same age who do not. This slight increase in the number of breast cancer cases gradually disappears during the course of the 10 years after stopping use of oral contraceptives. It is not known whether the oral contraceptive causes the difference. It may be that the women were examined more often, so that the breast cancer was noticed earlier.
If you are concerned about contracting a sexually transmitted disease (STD), ask your partner to wear a condom when having sexual intercourse with you.
Trifeme will not protect you from HIV-AIDS or any other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) such as chlamydia, genital herpes, genital warts, gonorrhoea, hepatitis B, human papilloma virus and syphilis. To help protect yourself from STDs, you need to use a barrier contraceptive such as a condom.
Tell your doctor you are taking Trifeme at least 4 weeks before any planned hospitalisation or surgery.
Your doctor may tell you to stop taking Trifeme several weeks before surgery or at the time of immobilisation. Your doctor will tell you when you can start taking Trifeme after you are back on your feet.
To avoid pregnancy during this time you must use a non-hormonal method of contraception such as condoms or a diaphragm.

Things you must not do

Do not take Trifeme to treat any other complaints unless your doctor tells you to.
Do not give Trifeme to anyone else.
Do not stop taking Trifeme, or change the dosage, without checking with your doctor.
If you stop taking Trifeme or do not take a tablet every day, without using another form of contraception, you may become pregnant.

Side Effects

Tell your doctor or pharmacist as soon as possible if you do not feel well while taking Trifeme.
All medicines can have side effects. Sometimes they are serious, most of the time they are not. You may need medical attention if you get certain side effects.
It can be difficult to tell whether side effects are the result of taking Trifeme or are side effects of another medicine you are taking.
Do not be alarmed by the list of side effects.
You may not experience any of them.
Ask your doctor or pharmacist to answer any questions you have.

After stopping Trifeme

If your periods do not return within 2 to 3 months of stopping Trifeme, tell your doctor.
Some women have short-term problems getting pregnant after stopping Trifeme, especially if they had irregular menstrual cycles before starting to use an oral contraceptive.
If you are planning to become pregnant after stopping Trifeme, use a non-hormonal method of contraception such as condoms or a diaphragm for 3 months before trying to get pregnant.
Ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice about taking folate if you plan to become pregnant.

After taking Trifeme
