Can I Take High Doses Of 'tri-sprintec' As An Emergency Contraceptive?
I havent been taking my birth control pills since the beginning of this month and I had unprotected sex about 30 hours ago. I dont have a way to get plan b right now. I've seen online how I could take extra doses of the birth control Tri-Sprintec as use as an emergency contraceptive. Is this safe? If so, what would the dose be?

hi thanks for your question,Tri-Sprintec may not be effective for up to 7 days after you begin taking the first cycle of pills. Use a back-up method for first 7 days after you start Tri-Sprintec.it is not an emergency contraceptive.emergency contraceptive should within 72hrs of unprotected intercoure.i would suggest you to see gyneacologist.
