Tilia Fe

As a triphasic birth control pill, Tilia Fe contains three different strengths of hormones in each pack. Besides preventing pregnancy, this prescription oral contraceptive is also used to treat acne. It comes in tablet form and is taken at the same time every day. Most women tolerate it well, but this medication can cause side effects, such as nausea, breast tenderness, and spotting between periods.

What Is Tilia Fe?
