Is It Safe To Take Camrese While On Sprintec?
Question: For the past few months i've been on sprintec (28 day cycle) birth control and today my doctor prescribed me camrese (91 day cycle) I started the placebo pills today from sprintec and i was wondering when to start camrese. The instructions said the Sunday after my period started but I don't know if that is only if you're not on any birth control. Should i finish the placebo (done next Wednesday) or start camrese this Sunday?
Brief Answer:
Finish placebo pills and then start camrese.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
Since you are already taking the placebo pills of sprintec it is best to finish the pills and then start camrese on Sunday after finishing placebo pills. You will have your periods during this time. Even if there is no bleeding you can start with camrese and use an alternative protection during intercourse till then.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
