Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I Jean, 34 and I am taking althe pills for almost a year now. I started taking during the first day of my menstrual cycle - Friday. But last week, I incorrectly take the first pill for the wrong date. My menstrual period was over, I took the friday pill but it was still Thursday. So what I did, I skip taking the pill on the actual day - Friday(because I have already taken it on the wrong day, Thursday) and resume taking the pill for the saturday pill. Did I miss something? Or what would be the right thing to do? Thank you so much
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, if you miss he schedule dose still you need to continue taking the medicine as it is as if you have not missed any dose, it is not the therapeutic dose that need to be worry, in case of doubt the simple thing is avoid coitus that is all, hope this information helps.
