A member asked:
Im currently taking sprintec for birth control. can i start a new pill pack during the placebo week of my previous pack?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Starting a new pack at the end of the active pills, but PRIOR to the start of the placebo pills will still provide contraception. If you had already begun the placebos, you may experience some withdrawal bleeding, but protection against pregnancy will still be preserved.
