A member asked:
I was prescribed tri-sprintec for irregular periods and to loose weight. will this medication help?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes and ??: Tri-sprintec is an oral contraceptive; it should help with regulating the periods, but is not a reliable adjunct for weight loss. The research on ocps says they are 'weight neutral', but they should not cause weight loss.
