What is Sprintec 28 and how does it work?

Sprintec 28 is a monophasic combination oral contraceptive that contains two hormones: ethinyl estradiol (an estrogen) and norgestimate (a progestin). It is the generic version of Ortho-Cyclen, and closely related generics include MonoNessa, Estarylla, and Previfem. The 28-day pack holds 21 active tablets (0.25 mg norgestimate / 0.035 mg ethinyl estradiol) that each deliver the same hormone dose, plus 7 inert placebo tablets you take during the last week so you stay in the habit of taking one pill every day.

Sprintec 28 is FDA-approved to prevent pregnancy. It works mainly by stopping ovulation, and it also thickens cervical mucus and changes the uterine lining to make pregnancy less likely. It does not protect against HIV or other sexually transmitted infections.

Sprintec 28 cost and coupons without insurance

As an established generic, Sprintec 28 is one of the more affordable combination birth control pills, and many people pay cash for it rather than running it through insurance. Even so, the cash price for the same monthly pack can differ widely between pharmacies in the same town, so it pays to compare before you fill. Rx.com checks prices at more than 60,000 U.S. pharmacies so you can find the lowest one near you.

There is no brand manufacturer savings card for this generic, but our free discount coupon can lower the cash price at the pharmacy counter, no insurance required. Enter your ZIP above to see today's Sprintec 28 price at nearby pharmacies, then show the coupon on your phone or print it.

Sprintec 28 vs. Tri-Sprintec and other alternatives

Sprintec is a monophasic pill, meaning every active tablet has the same hormone dose. Tri-Sprintec is the triphasic version, where the progestin dose steps up over three phases of the cycle; it is the generic of Ortho Tri-Cyclen. Sprintec 28 itself is the generic of Ortho-Cyclen.

Other generics that use the same norgestimate/ethinyl estradiol combination include MonoNessa and Estarylla. These are therapeutically similar, so which one you receive often comes down to what your pharmacy stocks and the price. Your prescriber and pharmacist can help you decide, and you can compare cash prices for each on Rx.com.

Important safety information

Sprintec 28 carries a boxed warning that cigarette smoking increases the risk of serious cardiovascular problems from combination birth control pills. This risk goes up with age and with heavy smoking, so the pill should not be used by women over 35 who smoke. Combination pills also raise the risk of blood clots (including DVT and pulmonary embolism), stroke, and heart attack.

Do not use Sprintec 28 if you have a history of blood clots, certain cancers such as breast cancer, liver disease or tumors, uncontrolled high blood pressure, migraine with aura, or if you are or may be pregnant. Some medicines, including certain seizure drugs, rifampin, HIV protease inhibitors, and the herbal supplement St. John's wort, can make it less effective. This is general information, not medical advice. Tell your provider about your full health history and all medicines you take, and talk with them before starting or stopping this pill.
