Hello dear
Understand your concern
Spermicide alone effective in preventing the pregnancy around 70-80 %. So it has failure rate around 30-20 %. So it is better to take emergency contraceptive to prevent the unwanted pregnancy.
If you want to use sprintec as emergency contraceptive pill then take 4 pill as early as possible and another 4 tablet after 12 hour for better effectiveness. But it has higher side effect due to hormonal imbalance. and has failure rate around 3-4 %
Better to use I pill or UNwanted 72 to prevent the pregnancy.
Hope this may help you
