Sprintec, Unusual Period Times Unable To Use

Updated

I am first starting sprintec because I have irregular and painful periods. My Doctor said to start taking them on a Sunday when my periods start, I have had the pills for a month unable to start them because of my irregular periods, can I just start them any day?

Hello, Alena! How are you?

Yes, you can if your doctor approves, but if you start them when you aren't on your period, you will need to take them for a full 7 days, before they will become effective at preventing pregnancy.

The FDA lists the typical side effects of oral contraceptives as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, irritability, spotting and PMS-like symptoms.

Is there anything else I can help with?
