What Are The Side Effects Of Althea Pills?
Hi, I would like to inquire about the effects of starting althea pills on a wrong day. I was supposed to take it friday, but i took the pill from thursday arrow. So the days are not synchronized. Should i stop taking it or it is just fine. Please advice me on this matter. Thanks a lot.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It would not make a difference because each pill contains the same amount of hormone.
There are some oral contraceptives where the hormone levels in the medication can vary according to the day in which it is used but this is not the case for althea.
You can continue taking it
I hope this helps
