Does Time Variation In Taking Yaz Contraceptive Pills Reduce Its Effectiveness?
Question: Hi,
Ive been on Yaz contraception for 5 years now and i have always taken it at exactly the same time every day.
Is it true if you take it within 2-3 hours of the same time each day you will still be protected against pregnancy?
