Hi, last night I had unprotected sex, I usually take the Mirvala birth control pill, but I forgot last night. I took it this morning around 6:00 am.

Last night (about 9pm) I had unprotected sex. I usually take the oral contraceptive pill Mirvala, but yesterday I forgot. I took it this morning around 6am. I had ejaculation.

Hello Madam, what time do you usually take Mirvala?

Around 9pm

Thanks for the feedback!

If I understand correctly, you took your pill less than 12 hours late. This should not compromise the effectiveness of Mirvala. You may continue to take it tonight as scheduled.

I hope I have been helpful and I will be available if you have any further questions.

Sincerely,

Tom Samaha, Pharmacist
