What Are The Side Effects Of Sprintec Birth Control?
I just started Sprintec birth control (Jan. 1) and i got an upset stomach/diarrhea this afternoon at about 1-2ish (i take my pill at 5 pm every evening). Sometimes i have a sensitive stomach with certain foods so now i know what to eat and what to stay away from, and i dont recall eating anything that would have gave me diarrhea today, could it be the pill? Does this mean i didnt absorb the pill properly?

Hello,
It is unlikely that diarrhea is due to birth control pills. And an episode of diarrhea will not interfere with pill absorption.
Hope this answers your query
