Ortho-Cyclen


Pronunciation: nor-JES-ti-mate/ETH-in-il ess-tra-DYE-ole
Generic Name: Norgestimate and Ethinyl Estradiol
Brand Name: Examples include Ortho-Cyclen and Tri-Sprintec

Smoking cigarettes while using Ortho-Cyclen increases your chance of having heart problems. Do not smoke while using Ortho-Cyclen. Women older than 35 years of age and women who smoke 15 or more cigarettes per day are at a greater risk for heart problems.





Ortho-Cyclen is used for:

Preventing pregnancy. It may also be used to regulate the menstrual cycle, treat symptoms of menopause, or treating conditions as determined by your doctor.


Ortho-Cyclen is an estrogen and progestin combination. It works by increasing levels of estrogen and progesterone, which inhibits ovulation, changes the cervical mucus (which makes it more difficult for sperm to enter the uterus), and changes the endometrium (which reduces the likelihood of implantation by the fertilized egg).


Do NOT use Ortho-Cyclen if:


  • you are allergic to any ingredient in Ortho-Cyclen

  • you are pregnant

  • you have a history of problems with the blood vessels in the brain or heart, heart valve problems, heart attack, uncontrolled high blood pressure, abnormal or undiagnosed vaginal bleeding, certain cancers (including breast cancer or endometrial cancer), serious liver problems, blood clots, or have had a stroke

  • you are taking troleandomycin

Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.



Before using Ortho-Cyclen:


Some medical conditions may interact with Ortho-Cyclen. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have any medical conditions, especially if any of the following apply to you:


  • if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant or are breast-feeding

  • if you are taking any prescription or nonprescription medicine, herbal preparation, or dietary supplement

  • if you have allergies to medicines, foods, or other substances

  • if you smoke cigarettes

  • if you have cancer, diabetes, headaches or migraines, endometriosis, epilepsy, high cholesterol or triglyceride levels in the blood, high blood pressure, recent surgery, breast nodules or abnormal mammogram, depression, gallbladder or kidney disease, irregular menstrual periods, urinary tract bleeding, or obesity

  • if you have heart problems, elevated calcium in the blood, yellowing of the skin or eyes, pancreatitis, or tumors in the uterus

Some MEDICINES MAY INTERACT with Ortho-Cyclen. Tell your health care provider if you are taking any other medicines, especially any of the following:


  • Azole antifungals (eg, ketoconazole), aprepitant, bosentan, barbiturates (eg, phenobarbital), carbamazepine, felbamate, griseofulvin, HIV protease inhibitors (eg, ritonavir), hydantoins (eg, phenytoin), modafinil, nevirapine, penicillins, rifampin, St. John's wort, tetracyclines (eg, doxycycline), topiramate, or troglitazone because they may decrease Ortho-Cyclen's effectiveness

  • Beta-blockers (eg, metoprolol), corticosteroids (eg, hydrocortisone), cyclosporine, theophyllines, or troleandomycin because the risk of their side effects may be increased by Ortho-Cyclen

  • Lamotrigine because its effectiveness may be decreased by Ortho-Cyclen

This may not be a complete list of all interactions that may occur. Ask your health care provider if Ortho-Cyclen may interact with other medicines that you take. Check with your health care provider before you start, stop, or change the dose of any medicine.


How to use Ortho-Cyclen:


Use Ortho-Cyclen as directed by your doctor. Check the label on the medicine for exact dosing instructions.


  • Take Ortho-Cyclen by mouth with or without food.

  • Ortho-Cyclen can be started either on the first day of your menstrual flow or the first Sunday after the start of your menstrual flow. A second form of birth control should be used during the first month of use.

  • Ortho-Cyclen works best if it is taken at the same time each day, not more than 24 hours apart.

  • If you miss a dose of Ortho-Cyclen, take it as soon as you remember. Take your next dose at the regular time. This means you may take 2 doses on the same day. If you miss more than 1 dose of Ortho-Cyclen, refer to the patient information that came with Ortho-Cyclen.

Ask your health care provider any questions you may have about how to use Ortho-Cyclen.



Important safety information:


  • Discontinuing Ortho-Cyclen while taking lamotrigine may increase the blood levels of lamotrigine and lead to increased side effects such as nausea, dizziness, and visual disturbances.

  • Ortho-Cyclen may increase the risk of stroke, heart attack, blood clots, high blood pressure, or similar problems. The risk may be greater if you smoke.

  • If you have vomiting or diarrhea for any reason, your medicine may not work as well.

  • Tell your doctor or dentist that you take Ortho-Cyclen before you receive any medical or dental care, emergency care, or surgery.

  • If you wear contact lenses and you develop problems with them, contact your doctor.

  • Ortho-Cyclen may cause dark skin patches on your face. Avoid the sun, sunlamps, or tanning booths until you know how you react to Ortho-Cyclen. Use a sunscreen or wear protective clothing if you must be outside for more than a short time.

  • Use of Ortho-Cyclen will not prevent the spread of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).

  • Taking certain antibiotics, anticonvulsants, and other medicines while you are using Ortho-Cyclen may decrease the effectiveness of Ortho-Cyclen. To prevent pregnancy, use an extra form of birth control (eg, condoms).

  • Ortho-Cyclen should not be used in CHILDREN before menstruation has begun.

  • PREGNANCY and BREAST-FEEDING: Do not use Ortho-Cyclen if you are pregnant. If you think you may be pregnant, contact your doctor right away. Ortho-Cyclen is found in breast milk. If you are or will be breast-feeding while you use Ortho-Cyclen, check with your doctor. Discuss any possible risks to your baby.

All medicines may cause side effects, but many people have no, or minor, side effects. Check with your doctor if any of these most COMMON side effects persist or become bothersome:



Nausea; vomiting; weight change; bleeding between menstrual periods; breast tenderness.



Seek medical attention right away if any of these SEVERE side effects occur:
