What If I Miss a Dose?

Missing doses of Sprintec increases the risk of pregnancy. What you should do depends on how many tablets you have missed and where exactly you are in your cycle. Refer to the patient information that comes with each pack of Sprintec or consult your healthcare provider if you are not sure what to do (see Sprintec Dosing for more information as well).
 

Who Makes It?
