How is this medicine (Tri-Sprintec) best taken?

Though opponents of a single-payer system have long cited cost as an obstacle, findings published in The Lancetshow the opposite is true.

• Take Tri-Sprintec (ethinyl estradiol and norgestimate) at the same time of day.
• Take with or without food. Take with food if it causes an upset stomach.
• After starting Tri-Sprintec (ethinyl estradiol and norgestimate), you may need to use a non-hormone type of birth control like condoms to prevent pregnancy for some time. Follow what your doctor has told you to do about using a non-hormone type of birth control.
• If you also take colesevelam, take it at least 4 hours after you take Tri-Sprintec (ethinyl estradiol and norgestimate).
• Do not skip doses, even if you do not have sex very often.
• If you throw up or have diarrhea, Tri-Sprintec (ethinyl estradiol and norgestimate) may not work as well to prevent pregnancy. Use an extra form of birth control, like condoms, until you check with your doctor.
• If you miss 2 periods in a row, take a pregnancy test before starting a new cycle.

What do I do if I miss a dose?

• If a dose is missed, check the package insert or call the doctor to find out what to do. If using Tri-Sprintec (ethinyl estradiol and norgestimate) to prevent pregnancy, another form of birth control may need to be used for some time to prevent pregnancy.

Clinical Trial Experience

Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in clinical practice.

The safety of Tri-Sprintec was evaluated in 4,826 healthy women of child-bearing potential who participated in 6 clinical trials and received at least 1 dose of Tri-Sprintec for contraception. Two trials were randomized active-controlled trials and 4 were uncontrolled open-label trials. In 3 trials, subjects were followed for up to 24 cycles; in 2 trials, subjects were followed for up to 12 cycles; and in 1 trial, subjects were followed for up to 6 cycles.

Over the trials, between 9 to 27% of subjects discontinued the trial due to an adverse reaction. The most common adverse reactions (≥1%) leading to discontinuation were: metrorrhagia (4.3%), nausea/vomiting (2.8%), headache/migraine (2.4%), mood disorders (including depression and mood altered) (1.1%), and weight increased (1.1%).

breast cancer (1 subject), carcinoma of the cervix in situ (1 subject), hypertension (1 subject), and migraine (2 subjects).

Postmarketing Experience
