Explanation

Ortho Tri-Cyclen is a type of birth control pill used by women to prevent pregnancy. It works by altering the levels of certain hormones in the body, which prevents the release of an egg from the ovaries. This medication also changes the lining of the uterus to make it harder for a fertilized egg to attach and grow. Additionally, it thickens vaginal fluid to make it more difficult for sperm to reach an egg.
