Is Tri-Sprintec An Emergency Contraceptive Pill?

I have learned that women use birthcontrol as EC, certain brands require women to take 3 or 4 pills and it can be used as a Plan B, I want to know if the brand Tri-Sprintec falls under the list of birthcontrols that can be use as a EC pill and if so how many to take.

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
Tri-sprintec cannot be used as an emergency contraceptive pill in higher dosage as it is a triphasic pill and the tablets have different doses of hormones.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
