A member asked:
I accidentally took a week of sugar pills instead of starting my pack on week #1 for tri sprintec. do i just wait until my next period or continue?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: just pretend you are taking 1 pill a day for 7 days; your accident is a very unusual one, what were you thinking?
