Oralcon Contraceptive Pills Help

Hey. I forgot to take a white pill a couple days ago but remembered to take it and took it about 5 hours later than i usually do. Will it still be effective? How big can the time gap be before its no use to take it late?
Thanx

Hi, Isa! How are you?

Yes, that's basically just taking it late. Missing a pill is usually considered a gap of 24 hours or more, from when you were supposed to take it.

So, if you normally take it at 10am, but forgot and didn't realize it until the following day at 10am, when you went to take that one, it would be considered a missed pill.

You should double check this information with your doctor, but that's usually the way it works. :-)

Is there anything else I can help with?
