Is coughing a side effect of trigestrel?
Patient: I was changed over from Thriphasil to this Trgestrel a bit more than a month ago by our clinic sister. SInce then I also had the bloody discharge and also never stopped coughing. I have been to the the doctor twice for antibiotics. I just want to know can the coughing be a side effect or not? Doctor: Hi,  Usually not. Side Effects are nausea, vomiting, headache, bloating, breast tenderness, swelling of the ankles/feet (fluid retention) or weight change may occur. Vaginal bleeding between periods (spotting) or missed/irregular periods may occur, especially during the first few months of use.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Regards, Dr. Ajeet Singh, General & Family Physician
