Looking for a Tri-Sprintec coupon? Tri-Sprintec is the generic version of Ortho Tri-Cyclen, a triphasic combination birth control pill containing norgestimate and ethinyl estradiol.

Rx.com compares prices across more than 60,000 pharmacies so you can find a low price near you. Enter your ZIP above to see today's price at pharmacies close to you.

What is Tri-Sprintec and how does it work?

Tri-Sprintec is a combination oral contraceptive that pairs a progestin (norgestimate) with an estrogen (ethinyl estradiol). It uses a triphasic regimen, meaning the hormone dose changes across three phases of the monthly pack to more closely follow a natural cycle. It is the generic equivalent of the reference brand Ortho Tri-Cyclen, and it is also sold under other equivalent branded generics such as Tri-Linyah, Tri-Estarylla, Tri-Mili, Tri-Femynor, and Tri-VyLibra.

Tri-Sprintec is FDA-approved to prevent pregnancy in females of reproductive potential. It is also FDA-approved to treat moderate acne vulgaris in females at least 15 years old who have started menstruating, have no contraindications to oral contraceptive therapy, and want to use an oral contraceptive for birth control. Some providers also prescribe it to help regulate menstrual cycles or manage related symptoms; talk with your provider about whether it fits your needs.

Tri-Sprintec cost without insurance and how to save

As a generic, Tri-Sprintec is typically much less expensive than brand-name Ortho Tri-Cyclen, but there is no single set price. What you pay in cash can differ significantly between pharmacies, even within the same town, which is exactly why comparing prices matters. There is no manufacturer savings card for Tri-Sprintec because it is a generic.

To find the lowest price, enter your ZIP above to see today's price at nearby pharmacies and use the Rx.com coupon at checkout. Rx.com compares cash prices across more than 60,000 pharmacies, so you can quickly see where the drug costs less. Coupon prices are cash prices and do not use your insurance; sometimes a discount coupon beats an insurance copay, so it can be worth comparing both.

Tri-Sprintec vs. related pills and alternatives

Tri-Sprintec is the generic of the reference brand Ortho Tri-Cyclen. If you are comparing similar options, a few related pills use the same or a similar mix of norgestimate and ethinyl estradiol:

• Tri-Lo-Sprintec — a lower-estrogen triphasic version.
• Sprintec — a monophasic pill (same hormones at a steady dose all month).
• Tri-Linyah and Tri-Estarylla — other equivalent branded generics of the same triphasic formula.

These are not interchangeable at your own discretion. Which pill is right for you depends on your health history and your provider's guidance, so review any switch with them first.

Important safety information

Tri-Sprintec carries a boxed warning: cigarette smoking increases the risk of serious cardiovascular events from combination oral contraceptives, and that risk rises with age and heavy smoking. Women over 35 who smoke should not use it. Combination birth control pills can also increase the risk of blood clots (including DVT and PE), stroke, and heart attack, especially during the first year of use and after restarting. It is not appropriate for people who are pregnant or who have a history of blood clots, certain cancers such as breast or other estrogen-dependent cancers, liver disease, uncontrolled high blood pressure, or migraine with aura.

Tri-Sprintec does not protect against HIV or other sexually transmitted infections. Its effectiveness can be reduced by certain drug interactions, such as some anticonvulsants, rifampin, and St. John's wort. Watch for warning signs of a clot and seek care promptly if they occur. This information is a summary, not medical advice; talk with your doctor or pharmacist about your full history and any other medicines you take before starting or stopping this pill.
