Hi there, I had a question about Ortho-Tri Cyclen Lo --

I might have acid reflux and I read that one of the symptoms is regurgitation. Does that mean the contents of my stomach come up to the esophagus or just the stomach acid?

I don't think I have that but if I were to, would this affect the effectiveness of the pills even if I don't actually throw up? What if liquids did come up into my mouth?

I am not sure I can help with this particular question but the CL here will be back on Monday. I do know that regurgitation may, but not always, include partially digested food as well as stomach acid. Its an aweful feeling I know, but most times its only a small amount and you just need to reswallow if you can.
