Sprintec. How To Take?

I have been taking Sprintec for my first month. I am writing this because I am concerned about taking it 100% correctly. I have tried to take my Sprintec within 5 minutes of my designated time (5:55 P.M.) every day. However, I have heard stories from my friends who have their period cycled messed up even when taking it 3 minutes late, and another friend told me the window time is generally 15 minutes.

For Sprintec, what is my window time for taking the pills? 15 minutes, 1 hour, 3, (or 12 hours according to some).

Hello, Kelly! How are you?

It can really vary from person to person, so there is no definitive answer I can give you, that's also why you've gotten so many different responses from your friends, we are all genetically, and biologically different.

Thus, it is really best to take it as close to your regular time as possible, according to NIH reports.

The FDA reports the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, acne, fluid retention, and PMS-like symptoms.

Can anyone else that's been on this contraceptive chime in with their experiences?
