A member asked:

What happens if i use tri sprintec as emergency contraception?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: You can, typically take 4 active pills and then another 4 active pills 12 hours later. Better is to pick up an over the counter plan b. Side effects are less and you'll likely feel better. Efficacy slightly higher too.
