Backup After Placebo Week
(Newest replies first)
Updated
This is my second month to take Tri Sprintec. Do I need to use backup for seven days when starting a new pack since taking the white pills is like taking nothing at all? If not, I usually take my pills at 8 but I started my new pack 4 hours late today; will that be a problem?

I have another problem. I missed some pills and my instructions said to finish the third week throw away the reminder pills and start a new pack the day after my last pill in the third row. I am a Sunday starter but I didn't get to get my pills until today which is Monday. What do I do? I've missed pills to where I have to start a new pack early and now I've missed the first day I was supposed to start them.
You're very welcome! I'm glad I could help!
Feel free to post back, if you have any other questions.
Thank You so much and that is all I wanted to know.
Hello, MissAnn! How are you?
No, you only need the backup contraceptive for the first week you start them, when either new to taking them, or after having taken a break from taking them.
And no, again. Taking a pill late, occasionally, is fine.
The FDA lists the typical side effects of oral contraceptives as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, irritability and PMS-like symptoms.
Is there anything else I can help with?
