General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Please don't worry. Take the missed dose as soon as you remember that you have missed your dose and then take the dose as per scheduled time. As you have missed only 1 pill then you don't need to worry. Just take your missed pill and relax, however, in case you miss 2 pills or miss your dose twice in 48 hours then you need to take your missed pills together and keep taking your regular pills, use extra contraceptive measures like condoms for 7 days.
Take care.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Mahendra Sharma
