"i have been on sprintec for about 4 months now..the first month exactly a week before my period i caught a yeast infection, which i had never had before. every month after that i had a yeast infection exactly one week before my period. sprintec did help calm my severe cramps but i can&#039;t stand these yeast infections. then i caught a uti and now i am experiencing vaginal discomfort, which is noted as a direct side effect of sprintec. i am stopping sprintec immediately. my doctor keeps telling me that birth contol pills don&#039;t really have side effects but i never had any of theses before taking it and i have taken millions of tests and everything is negative! it&#039;s sprintec, especially after reading all of these comments."
