Hi thanks for your query,
If the you misses two active tablets in the third week or misses three or more active tablets in a row, you should continue taking one tablet every day until your first day of cycle. you should throw out the rest of the pack and start a new pack that same day. you need to use a back-up method of birth control if you have intercourse in the seven days after missing pills.
Tablets must be taken exactly as directed by doctor.
Consult your gyneacologist for further work
