Best Answer

A triphasic oral contraceptive is a form of Birth Control that contains 3 different dosages of pills in a pack. Typically the first phase/week contains higher dosage pills, the second phase/week contains a lower dosage and the third phase/week contains the lowest dosage of pills. Though triphasic birth control pills contain different dosages, it is still effective. A benefit of triphasic pills is the lower risk of side effects such as spotting, breakthrough bleeding and nausea.
