A member asked:
Went from sprintec birth control to prefivem and not sure if it is safe to keep have sex or if i have to wait. heard they were the same. i dont know?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
They're the same: Sprintec and Previfem are the same, so there should be no issue with switching from one pill to the other. they contain the same dose of ethinyl estradiol (35mcg) and the same dose and type of progestin (norgestimate).
