Tri-Norinyl Warnings and Precautions

Before using Tri-Norinyl, warnings and precautions concerning the safety of the contraceptive should be discussed with your healthcare provider. For example, make sure your healthcare provider knows about any of your existing medical conditions, such as depression, gallbladder disease, or high blood pressure, as Tri-Norinyl can make these conditions worse. Also, Tri-Norinyl may not be suitable for people who have heart disease or a blood clotting disorder.
