Hi,

If you took LoLo for more than seven days, then switched directly to a new blister of Tricira the next day without interruption, then you doesn't lose any contraceptive effect. So yes, Tricira is fully effective.

J'ai gradué de l'Université Laval en 2015. J'ai choisi le métier de pharmacienne car je suis une personne qui aime les défis et être challengée. Je vois dans l'initiative ''Question pour un pharmacien'' un moyen supplémentaire d'aider les gens et de combattre la désinformation sur internet. Les pharmaciens sont des personnes engagées ayant la santé de leurs patients à cœur. Il ne suffit parfois que de demander. Ainsi, n'hésitez-pas à poser vos questions ou à venir en personne à ma pharmacie. Au plaisir !
