How Should Logynon Pills Be Taken?

I take lygynon pill and have realised that yesterday I took today s pill, the reason for my concern is that yesterday should have been my last white pill and today is the first ochre pill (which I took yesterday). Which pill shall I take today? The next Ochre one or the last white one?

Ho,
Welcome to Healthcaremagic.com.
Logynon comes in strips of 21 pills (6 light brown, 5 white and 10 ochre-coloured tablets), each marked with a day of the week.

Take your pill at the same time every day.
Start by taking pill number 1 and mark that day of the week under the heading “I took my first pill on” by piercing the small unnumbered foil disc. This will remind you on which day you started taking the course of pills.
Follow the direction of the arrows on the strip. Take one pill each day, until you have finished all 21 pills.
Swallow each pill whole, with water if necessary. Do not chew the pill.
Then have seven pill-free days.
Hope this will help you.
Regards
Dr Muzaffar
