General Information on TriNessa
TriNessa is a contraceptive and combination drug which consists of norgestimate and ethyl estradiol. These two drugs are hormones that are naturally produced by the female body.
TriNessa prevents an unwanted pregnancy in 3 ways. Firstly, it stops the process of ovulation, wherein an egg is released from the ovaries. If an egg is already released, TriNessa also changes the cervical mucus in such a way that it becomes difficult for the sperm to fertilize the egg. If an egg is already fertilized, TriNessa changes the uterine lining such that it becomes difficult for the fertilized egg to attach itself to the uterine wall. You can buy TriNessa online or from a drugstore after consulting your doctor.
Side effects of TriNessa
TriNessa is only meant to prevent a pregnancy and cannot be used if you are already pregnant or if you recently underwent a successful delivery. If you take TriNessa or any other birth control pill at any stage of your pregnancy, it may result in birth defects or seriously harm the fetus. Do not buy TriNessa if you suffer from a severe heart valve disorder, liver cancer or disease, severe migraine headaches, coronary artery disease, uncontrolled hypertension, or a hormone related cancer (breast cancer, uterine cancer, etc).
TriNessa is known to increase the risk of heart attacks, blood clots and strokes, especially if you are a heavy smoker or are 35 years of age and above. In rare cases, TriNessa is known to trigger an allergic reaction. Signs of such a reaction include the appearance of hives, swollen face or throat, and breathing difficulties.
