What Is The Correct Dosage Of TriSprintec Birth Control?

Hi, I've been on TriSprintec birth control for two days so far and had unprotected sex last night... I read that four pills and then another four pills twelve hours later is the proper use for TriSprintec to be used as an emergency contraceptive. Is this correct? And do you think I should buy Plan B just in case?

Hello,

Trisprintec is not a recommended emergency pill. It has got comparatively high failure rate when compared to other. It is better to go for “plan-B”’or “I-pill”, which shows good results when used as emergency pill. If no other options are available, you can take Tri-Sprintec as emergency pill. You can take four pills at a time and repeat four pills after twelve hours.

Hope I have answered your query.
