Generic ortho tricyclen contains a combination of female hormones that prevent ovulation (the release of an egg from an ovary). This medication also causes changes in your cervical mucous and uterine lining, making it harder for sperm to reach the uterus and harder for a fertilized egg to attach to the uterus. Generic ortho tricyclen is used as contraception to prevent pregnancy. It is also used to treat severe acne. Generic ortho tricyclen may also be used for purposes other than those listed in this medication guide.
