How Should Triphasil Pills Be Taken?
Hi doctor. My question is, should the triphasil pills always be taken from the left where the red pills start? I usually start my period on a Sunday so do I than wait till Wednesday where the packet starts, to take the pill or do I start where it says Sunday but still on the red pills? Thank you

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Triphasil pills are arranged in three phases. You have to start with a brown pill on the first day of menses (where it's written Sunday) or on first Sunday after your menses start. Continue taking 1 pill a day (exactly at the same time every day) 6 brown, 5 white, and then 10 light yellow. A strict regime goes like 21 days taking regular pills followed by 7 pill free days.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Vasudha Jayant Athavale
