missing a pill on tri-sprintec Posted: 05-06-08 18:10pm


Hi, I've been taking tri-sprintec for about 3-4 months now and been having unprotected sex while on it. If I missed a day, I would just take two the next day because most birth controls work like that. THEN, I read the directions and it had all these crazy rules about how if you miss a specific color then you have to take two the next day and two the day after that... and all this crazy stuff. Could I be pregnant if I didn't follow those crazy directions? Or am I still ok because I took two pills the following day of missing? please help. I'm scared. oh p.s. how important is it to take the inactive pills? is it ok to miss the 4th week sometimes to not have my period?

Whatever the instructions in your packet say is what is important to follow when it comes to missing pills. They are the ones who make them and test them to see what works, so I would follow the advice of the packet if possible. The inactive pills are not important at all. It is perfectly fine to skip them, not have your period, and continue on to the next pack.
