Buy Sprintec Online
Overview
Sprintec is a combined oral contraceptive pill that contains two hormones: estrogen (ethinyl estradiol) and progestin (norgestimate). Its primary purpose is to prevent pregnancy by inhibiting ovulation, thickening cervical mucus, and thinning the uterine lining.
How It Works
Sprintec works by releasing hormones that prevent the ovaries from releasing eggs (ovulation). The estrogen and progestin in Sprintec also thicken the cervical mucus, making it more difficult for sperm to enter the uterus, and alter the uterine lining to prevent implantation of a fertilized egg.
Effectiveness
When taken correctly, Sprintec has an effectiveness rate of over 99% in preventing pregnancy. With typical use, the effectiveness drops to about 91%. Factors that may affect effectiveness include missing doses, taking certain medications, and gastrointestinal issues like vomiting or diarrhea.
Indications
Sprintec is recommended for women seeking a reliable method of birth control. It is suitable for most women of reproductive age, typically starting from around 15 years old. It may be particularly beneficial for those who also wish to regulate menstrual cycles or reduce acne.
