Tri-Sprintec

Tri-Sprintec is a combination oral contraceptive pill used to prevent pregnancy. It contains two hormones: ethinyl estradiol (an estrogen) and norgestimate (a progestin). These hormones work together to prevent ovulation, thicken cervical mucus, and alter the lining of the uterus, making it difficult for sperm to reach the egg or for a fertilized egg to implant. Tri-Sprintec follows a triphasic dosing schedule, which provides varying hormone levels across three different phases of the menstrual cycle to mimic the body's natural hormone fluctuations.
