Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo

Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo is a low-dose combination birth control pill that contains ethinyl estradiol and norgestimate. It’s designed to prevent pregnancy while also helping to improve skin and regulate your cycle. As a triphasic pill, it delivers different hormone levels throughout your cycle to more closely mimic your body’s natural rhythm — which may reduce side effects for some users.

What’s the difference between Ortho Tri-Cyclen and Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo?

The “Lo” version has a lower dose of estrogen, which may result in fewer estrogen-related side effects like bloating or breast tenderness — while still providing effective pregnancy prevention.

Can Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo help with acne?

Yes. Like the original Ortho Tri-Cyclen, the Lo version is also prescribed to treat moderate acne in people who are menstruating and over age 15.

What’s a triphasic pill and why does it matter?

Triphasic pills like Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo change hormone levels three times during your cycle. For some people, this can make the pill feel more natural and help reduce hormonal side effects.
