I took my pill twice today, what should I do?

25-year-old woman2 years ago

Hello, I am on the Minidril microdose pill (Min-Orval in Quebec) and I realized that I took it twice inadvertently. I took two pills on Friday instead of one. Today (Saturday) I took my pill as usual. I was going to do the same on Sunday, taking a tablet from a back-up pack (because I'm missing a tablet since I took Friday's twice...)

Good morning, ma'am,

Since you have a backup pack, yes you can start the 7 day break on Monday as planned.

Sincerely

Tom Samaha, pharmacist
