How do I manage forgetting my birth control pill from now on?

Hello, madam, what is the name of the contraceptive you are taking?

How many hours did you forget to take it?

Thanks for the feedback, I'm sorry for the delay I didn't see the notification!

If you can be sure that the forgetfulness was in the last week, then you take the forgotten tablet as soon as you realize it and the scheduled tablet that day as usual. This means 2 tablets in one day.

if you forget to take a pill during the last week and want to ensure the effectiveness of the contraceptive, you should not stop taking it as soon as you finish your current pack. You will need to start a new pack.

Unfortunately, this is beyond the scope of what can be addressed on this platform as it is a prescribed product requiring a personalized intervention.

Sincerely,

Tom Samaha, pharmacist
