How long until Bc is effective?

Question

I am currently taking Sprintec birth control pills and was wondering when is it effective? I am currently on day 1 of taking them and was told my the doctor and nurse practitioner two different dates of when I can have unprotected sex.

Answer

This information should be in the leaflet that comes with the pills… But, generally, birth control is effective after 7 days of consistent use (with continuing consistent use after that).
