Ortho Tricyclen Lo And Acne? Posted: 02-12-06 14:29pm
I know that ortho tricyclen helps acne,
but I got put on lo (b/c im "small") I
went to their website and when someone
questioned its effects on acne, it said it
had not been studied for the treatment of
acne. Does anyone take it that has acne
and personally saw improvements, b/c thats
the only reason I specifically asked for
ortho tricyclen in the first place.

i totally saw improvement; just keep up on
cleaning it like you normally do. Do you
have any doctor prescribed acne washes or
gels? I know I have about a hundreed;
those damn doctors tried everything. I
just never kept up on it; and the pills
they put me on one time made me so sick to
my stomach!
Then, last summer, I went in for yet
another dermatology appt. I'm 21, btw.
My doctor said: "here is one last thing we
can try. It is very powerful, and you
will need to be on two forms of birth
control (ortho-lo and condoms for example)
because you absolutely cannot get pregnant
while on this stuff! It will seriously
deform the baby! Also... A couple of
teens have commited suicide while taking
it."
terror!! I actually thought about taking
this, for several days! I set up my pap
smear to get on bcps, because you have to
be on those for a month before you can
start these face pills. But, during that
month, I washed my face religiously!! The
washing accompanied by ortho lo cleared me
up; and so I never went on the scary face
pills!
