Question:
I was on ortho tricyclen for a little over a year a couple of years
ago. It really helped clear up some acne i was having. I recently was
given tri-sprintec as the generic brand of ortho and i was wondering
if anyone knew if it would help my skin the way ortho did. Thanks!

Answer:
Hey Anna, how are you doing?

Ortho Tricyclen and Tri-Sprintec are formulary or genetically equivelent. However, for best result, a dermatologist should be consulted in arriving at a good regimen and must be reevaluated as the condition changes.
