Backup After Placebo Week
UpdatedThis 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?

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?
Thank You so much and that is all I wanted to know.
You're very welcome! I'm glad I could help!
Feel free to post back, if you have any other questions.
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.
