Hello there,
Yes all the pills in one strip or box have the same dose of hormones. Its good that you took another pill. This way you will not lose the effect of the medicine. This will definitely not mess you up. You can even skip one dose at the end of the month if you have taken all the other doses correctly. It will not reduce the effectiveness of the pill. Also try to be careful next time. Never miss more than 2 doses in a month. If you do then use protection during every intercourse.
Hope this helps.
Take care.
