I had protected sex last but I am still worried. Can I use my birth control sprintec as an emergency contraceptive?

Seriously... NO form of birth control is 100% effective... and the morning after pill is no different.

You take your birth control pills on time, as required and use a second form as well. Its still possible to get pregnant that way ( though not extremely likely) so if you are going to be freaking out... that is a very clear indication you aren't ready or in a position to be having sex since having sex WILL result in parenthood for a percentage of people who engage in this activity.

Many birth control pills can be used as emergency contraception, but dosage will vary so you would need to contact your doctor as to whether yours is suitable for that purpose and, if so, what dosage would be appropriate for you.

A better option would be to purchase regular emergency contraception, such as Plan B, and use that. You can purchase it at your pharmacy over the counter.

I see some web sites from India, that do say it can be. The issue will be the dosage of the pills you have. So contact the doctor you got them from..
