Hi,

Sprintex is a combination hormone contraceptive pill. It starts its contraceptive effect right away, if tablet is started on 1st day of cycle. However, if you start it mid-cycle, then contraceptive effect will depend on the phase of cycle and level of hormone. Maximum risk of pregnancy, with starting the tablet mid-cycle will be, if you start it near the ovulation time. Hence you should avoid sexual exposure at least for 7 days or adopt alternative method of contraception simultaneously for these 7 days to avoid risk of pregnancy.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
