About Trifeme 28

Trifeme 28 is a triphasic combined pill, a generic equivalent of Triphasil. PBS-listed in Australia.

Trifeme-28 is a triphasic combined oral contraceptive containing ethinylestradiol and levonorgestrel. It is the generic equivalent of Triphasil-28, offering the same three-phase hormone delivery at an equivalent PBS price.

The three phases of Trifeme-28 are colour-coded to make it easy to follow the correct order. Taking the tablets in sequence is important for both effectiveness and cycle predictability. Missing tablets or taking them out of order can reduce contraceptive efficacy.

Trifeme-28 is suitable for women who have tolerated triphasic pills well or who have been advised by their GP to try a lower cumulative hormone dose formulation.
