Buy Tri Lo Sprintec Online from Licensed Canadian Pharmacies

Tri-Lo Sprintec is a combined oral contraceptive (COC) that prevents pregnancy by delivering low doses of two hormones, norgestimate (a progestin) & ethinyl estradiol (an estrogen). It’s a triphasic pill, which means the progestin amount changes across 3 weeks while the estrogen dose stays the same. It prevents pregnancy mainly by stopping ovulation, thickening cervical mucus to block sperm, & changing the uterine lining so the zygote (an egg) is less likely to implant.

Each monthly blister pack contains 21 active tablets (meaning tablets that have active hormones) and seven reminder placebo (inactive) tablets. It is an effective, reversible option for many women who want oral contraception when taken correctly. It is prescription-only and not appropriate for everyone, especially people who smoke and are over age 35 or who have certain medical conditions. Your gynecologist will help you decide if this pill fits your health profile and contraception goals.

How It Works

How It Works

How the Tri Lo Sprintec Works?

Tri Lo Sprintec contains two synthetic hormones. One is a progestin (norgestimate), and the other is an estrogen (ethinyl estradiol). They work together by preventing ovulation (the release of an egg from the ovary).

Tri Lo Sprintec also thickens the cervical mucus so that sperm find it harder to reach the uterus (womb), and alters the uterine lining to reduce the likelihood of implantation.

Safety Guide

Safety Guide

What Are the Safety Guidelines for Tri Lo Sprintec?

You should take these precautions while using Tri Lo Sprintec:

  • Tell your doctor about your medical history prior to starting your medication.
  • Make sure you understand how to start (Day 1 or Sunday) and when backup is required during the first cycle or after switching birth control methods.
  • If you vomit or have diarrhea soon after taking a pill, follow the instructions given for missed dose(s) and use backup contraception temporarily.
  • Depending on your health, you may expect regular blood pressure checks and other lab tests while on Tri Lo Sprintec tablets.

  • You will need to stop taking the pill 4 weeks before major surgery and restart only when your doctor says it’s safe.
Missed Dose

Missed Dose

If you miss or forget a dose of your Tri Lo Sprintec birth control pill, follow your medicine’s instructions carefully since missing pills can raise your risk of getting pregnant. If you miss taking 1 active pill, take it as soon as you recall (even if two in one day) and then continue 1 pill daily.

If you forget 2 active pills in Week 1 or 2, take 2 pills daily for 2 days, then continue normally and use backup birth control (non-hormonal options like condoms) for 7 days.

If you miss 2 or 3 pills in Week 3:

  • Day 1 starters should start a new pack right away
  • Sunday starters should keep taking a pill daily until Sunday, then start a new pack.

If you skip 2 periods in a row, call your prescribing doctor. Missing a reminder pill isn’t serious, and you can just throw it away and continue as usual.

Overdose

Overdose

Taking too many Tri Lo Sprintec tablets will not cause any life threatening side effects, but it may lead to nausea, vomiting, or even withdrawal bleeding. If you notice or suspect an overdose, call Poison Control at 1-800-222-1222 toll free or seek medical care for more advice. Bring the package with you so your doctor can confirm the product and the number of tablets taken.
