Welcome to HealthcareMagic,
Althea is an effective contraceptive pill. The Chances of your wife getting pregnant if she has taken all the tablets correctly are rare. Your wife should wait for 1 week for her to get her menstrual period. If she gets her period then she is not pregnant. But if she does not get her periods even after 1 week then ask her to do a early morning sample urine pregnancy test to know about her pregnancy status. Hope that answers your question.
Have a good day. Regards, Dr.Imaad.
