What Happens When You Accidentally Take A Placebo Pill Instead Of An Active Pill?
So I am on birth control and I have taken all the placebo pills during my last pack but on sunday, I was suppose to take a active pill but I totally forgot and I took a placebo pill. Then today which is Monday, I took my regular active pill. Is that still ok?

Hi,
Nothing will happen in case you miss a single pill.
You can take the missed pill along with the next day pill. That means you have to take two pills on the next day.
No backup methods or emergency pills are required.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
