FAQ

• How Does Tri-Lo-Sprintec Work?

  Tri-Lo-Sprintec is an effective form of birth control because it uses two hormones, a progestin and an estrogen, to prevent pregnancy. This daily pill creates a thick cervical mucus to block sperm, prevents ovulation, and creates a thin uterine wall to prevent any fertilized eggs from attaching. Tri-Lo-Sprintec is most effective when it is taken at the same time every day so the body gets used to the hormones and there are no gaps in treatment.
