Description

Buy Sprintec Online from Licensed Canadian Pharmacies

Sprintec (norgestimate-ethinyl estradiol) is a combination oral contraceptive used to prevent pregnancy by stopping ovulation, altering the lining of the uterus, and thickening cervical mucus. Beyond contraception, Sprintec offers additional benefits, such as regulating menstrual cycles, reducing painful cramps, and improving acne by balancing hormone levels. It may also decrease menstrual flow and lower the risk of ovarian cysts & certain types of cancer.

The medication is taken in a 28-day cycle, with 21 active hormone-containing pills followed by 7 placebo pills. However, common side effects of Sprintec include nausea, headaches, and breast tenderness. Store Sprintec at room temperature, away from moisture, and discard any missed inactive pills. To order Sprintec online, you will need to obtain a prescription from your doctor.

Uses and Benefits

Sprintec is a combination medication that

  • Prevents pregnancy

Benefits of Sprintec

  • Helps create more predictable periods and reduces irregular bleeding.
  • By lowering prostaglandin levels, Sprintec can ease painful cramps during menstruation.
  • The hormonal balance it provides can reduce androgen levels, which helps clear up acne in many users.
  • Often leads to reduced menstrual flow, which can be helpful for those with heavy bleeding.
  • Suppressing ovulation lowers the chance of developing functional ovarian cysts.
  • Long-term use of Sprintec has been associated with a reduced chance of ovarian and endometrial cancers.
Dosage

Dosage of Sprintec for Pregnancy Prevention

  • Active Tablets (Blue): Take 1 tablet daily for 21 days, ideally at the same time each day. These contain the hormones norgestimate and ethinyl estradiol.
  • Inactive Tablets (White): Follow with 1 tablet daily for 7 days. These are placebo pills to help maintain the habit and trigger withdrawal bleeding.

Start Options:

  • Day 1 Start: Begin on the first day of your period.
  • Sunday Start: Begin on the first Sunday after your period gets started (use backup contraception for the first 7 days).
Usage Guide

When you buy Sprintec online, consider the following administration guidelines:

  • Take 1 pill by mouth daily, at the same time each day.
  • Take it with a glass of water.
  • You can take Sprintec with or without food, whichever feels more comfortable for you.
  • Start with the blue active pills for 21 days.
  • Follow with the white inactive pills for 7 days.
  • Begin your next pack immediately after finishing the last pill; no break days.
How It Works

First, it stops ovulation, so your ovaries don’t release an egg. Second, it thickens cervical mucus, making it really hard for the sperm to reach the uterus. Third, it alters the lining of the uterus, decreasing the chances of a fertilized egg implanting. These combined effects create a highly effective barrier against conception when taken consistently and correctly.

Side Effects

Common Sprintec side effects may include:

  • Nausea or vomiting
  • Headaches or migraines
  • Breast tenderness or enlargement
  • Spotting or breakthrough bleeding between periods
  • Mood changes, including irritability or mild depression
  • Weight fluctuations
  • Bloating or stomach cramps
  • Increased vaginal discharge or irritation
  • Decreased sex drive
  • Darkening of facial skin (melasma)
  • Trouble wearing contact lenses

Serious side effects (rare) of Sprintec tablets are:

  • Chest pain or shortness of breath
  • Sudden severe headaches or migraines with aura
  • Vision changes or blurred vision
  • Severe abdominal pain
  • Unusual vaginal bleeding
  • Signs of stroke or heart attack,

Note: Contact your healthcare provider or doctor if you experience any serious symptoms or unusual changes.

Warnings

Consider the following warnings when you order Sprintec from Canada:

  • Cigarette Smoking and Serious Heart Problems: Females over 35 years old who smoke cigarettes should not take Sprintec because smoking while using combined oral contraceptives (COCs) significantly increases the risk of serious heart problems, including heart attacks. The risk rises with age and the number of cigarettes smoked. If you are over 35 and smoke, you should choose a non-hormonal birth control method instead of Sprintec to avoid these dangers.
  • Blood Clots and Strokes: Sprintec raises your risk of blood clots, which can cause DVT (deep vein thrombosis), stroke, pulmonary embolism (PE), or heart attack. Your risk is higher if you’re over 35 and smoke, over 40 and don’t smoke, recently had surgery with long bed rest, started Sprintec within a month after childbirth, have high blood pressure, obesity, high cholesterol, diabetes, or take a higher estrogen dose.
  • Irregular Bleeding: While taking Sprintec, you may experience irregular bleeding or spotting, especially in the first 3 months. This can range from light staining to heavier bleeding but may improve over time.
  • High Blood Pressure: Sprintec can increase blood pressure, particularly in older women or those with long-term use of COCs. If you have uncontrolled high blood pressure or blood vessel complications, you should not take Sprintec. Regular blood pressure checks are recommended, and if your blood pressure increases, your provider may switch you to a safer birth control option.
  • High Blood Sugar and Cholesterol: Sprintec may increase blood sugar and cholesterol levels. Those with diabetes, prediabetes, or high triglycerides are at higher risk of complications like pancreatitis. If you have these conditions, discuss Sprintec with your provider before use.
  • Migraines and Headaches: New or worsening headaches or migraines while on Sprintec should be reported to your provider. Severe or persistent headaches may require stopping the medication to prevent further complications.
  • Breast and Cervical Cancer: Studies suggest Sprintec and other COCs may slightly increase the risk of breast and cervical cancer, especially with long-term use (8+ years). Do not take Sprintec if you have or have had breast cancer, as estrogen can accelerate certain cancers.
  • Liver Problems: Sprintec should not be used if you have liver disease, liver tumors, or severe liver scarring. Rarely, it can cause benign liver tumors or liver damage.
Safety Guide

If you plan to order Sprintec online, follow these precautionary guidelines:

  • Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Sprintec should not be used during pregnancy, and it's generally not recommended for breastfeeding mothers. The hormones may reduce milk supply and pass into breast milk, potentially affecting the baby. If you're postpartum or planning to breastfeed, discuss safer alternatives with your healthcare provider.
  • Allergies: Before starting Sprintec, inform your doctor of any known allergies to estrogens, progestins, or inactive ingredients in the pill. Allergic reactions can range from very mild rashes to serious complications, so a thorough review of your medical history is essential.
  • Travel and Immobility: Extended periods of immobility increase the risk of blood clots while taking Sprintec tablets. If you're planning to travel or recovering from surgery, consider temporarily discontinuing use or using a backup method.
Missed Dose

If you miss one active Sprintec pill, take it as soon as you remember, even if that means taking two pills in one day. Continue your regular schedule afterward. If you miss two or more active pills, especially in the first or second week, take the most recent missed pill right away and discard the others.

Overdose

An overdose of Sprintec is rare but can cause symptoms like nausea, vomiting, breast tenderness, fatigue, and unusual vaginal bleeding. While serious complications are uncommon, especially in children, it’s important to contact a poison control center at 1-800-222-1222 if an overdose is suspected.

  • Do not refrigerate or freeze the Sprintec tablets.
  • Avoid storing in the bathroom or near kitchen appliances.
