Triquilar Kit belongs to a group of medications called 'hormonal contraceptives' primarily used for contraception and treating dysmenorrhea (irregular and painful periods). Contraception is a procedure that aims to prevent unwanted pregnancy for safe family planning. Dysmenorrhea is an irregular and painful menstrual period leading to abdominal pain, mood swings, digestion problems, fainting, vomiting, and nausea.

Triquilar Kit is a combination of two medications: Ethinylestradiol and Levonorgestrel. Ethinylestradiol is a synthetic female hormone (estrogen) that maintains a normal menstrual cycle (periods) in women. It works by fulfilling the deficiency of estrogen hormone, thereby preventing symptoms like night sweats, hot flashes, and mood swings. Levonorgestrel is a progestin (female sex hormones) that prevents the release of an egg from the ovary (female reproductive cells) or prevents fertilization of an egg by sperm (male reproductive cells). Triquilar Kit may also change the lining of the uterus to prevent the development of a pregnancy. Thus, together, Triquilar Kit helps prevent pregnancy.

Take Triquilar Kit  as prescribed by your doctor. Triquilar Kit can be taken with or without food but take it simultaneously every day for best results. Depending on your medical condition, you are advised to take Triquilar Kit for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you. You may experience stomach pain, headache, nausea, breast pain, weight gain, and irregular uterine bleeding. Most of these side effects of Triquilar Kit do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor. Do not use Triquilar Kit if you are pregnant or have recently delivered a baby.

Do not take Triquilar Kit if you are pregnant already or a breastfeeding mother. Triquilar Kit does not prevent the transmission of any sexually transmitted disease (STD), so use some other form of contraception (condom) during sexual intercourse if you have any STD or AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome).

Triquilar Kit is an oral hormonal combination drug, Ethinylestradiol and Levonorgestrel, primarily used for contraception. Triquilar Kit contains two female sex hormones, progestin (levonorgestrel) and estrogen (ethinylestradiol), which help prevent pregnancy in multiple ways. It prevents the release of an egg from the ovaries and makes the fluid present in the cervix difficult for sperm to enter the womb. In addition, it prevents the thickening of the uterus's inner wall, which is necessary for an egg to grow and multiply. Triquilar Kit is generally taken for 21 days starting from day one of the menstrual cycle, and then for the next seven days, it is not taken, and the same course is repeated.

Contraception: It is a procedure that aims to prevent pregnancy. A woman can only get pregnant if a man's sperm fertilizes her egg. Contraception aims to prevent this from happening by keeping egg and sperm apart by stopping egg production or not letting the uterus wall become thick. As a result, no fertilization takes place, so contraception is a safe method for family planning.

Dysmenorrhea: It is an irregular and painful period leading to abdominal pain, digestion problems, fainting, vomiting, and nausea. Generally, a menstrual cycle is about 25-30 days. But this cycle may be short or prolonged in dysmenorrhea, leading to excessive pain.
