Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I forgot to drink althea in two consecutive days will i get pregnant if i have sexual intercourse on the 1st day of missed pill. After the two missed pill i drink the two pills in the morning and the pill due in the evening Is my way of drinking the missed pill ok or can you advice how to drink the missed pill
Hi, Thanks for posting in HCM. I understand your concern. Althea is an oral contraceptive pill. It comes with 21 hormonal pills. Users need to take one pill daily at exactly the same time for 21 days. They have 7 pill free days, during which they should get menstrual periods. Missing a pill or two during the schedule and taking extra dose later on would not prevent from having a risk of becoming pregnant. Since you have missed your pill, it is advisable to use other modes of contraception like condoms or spermicidal agents until you finish the current schedule and get you periods. Hope the information provided would be helpful. All the best.
