Brief Answer:
Can make up for the missed single tablet.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for writing to us.

When you miss a single dose, you should take the pill as soon as you remember it, any time during the next 24 hours and if you remember at the time of taking your next dose, you can take two pills at once.

To avoid side effects like nausea, the medication is usually taken with light food like milk.

You did not mention which type of pack you are using. If you are on the active pack only, you cannot see a period during the course of treatment.

The decision to stop using the medication may better be taken after consulting your health care provider since the indication for prescribing the medication is better known to your doctor. Amount of menstrual bleeding with pills can gradually reduce in some. This depends on the amount of endometrial preparation.

Hope I have clarified your query. Please feel free to contact for further information. I will be happy to help.

regards,
Shanti.V.

Brief Answer:
Usually not much side effects seen.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for writing back.

Usually not much side effects are seen with a single overdose. However, it should be kept in mind that since this is a hormone medication, the likely possibility of a breakthrough bleed can exist.

Hope I have answered your query. Please get back if you need more information. I will be ready to help.

regards,
Shanti.V.
