What should I do if I miss any pills?
We get it, things happen and you might forget your pill. Here’s what to do if this happens:
I missed ONE white active tablet in Weeks 1, 2, or 3
Take the missed active tablet as soon as possible, even if two active tablets are taken in one day. Continue taking one tablet a day until the pack is finished.
I missed TWO white active tablet in Week 1 or Week 2
Take two active tablets as soon as possible. Then, take two active tablets the next day. This means taking 4 tablets in 2 days. Continue taking one tablet a day until the pack is finished.
Use additional non-hormonal contraception (such as condoms and spermicide) as back-up if you have sex within 7 days after missing tablets.
I missed TWO white active tablets in the third week OR THREE or more active tablets in a row in Weeks 1, 2, or 3
Day 1 start: Throw out the rest of the 28-day pack and start a new pack that same day.
Sunday start: Continue taking one tablet a day until Sunday, then throw out the rest of the pack and start a new pack that same day.
Use additional non-hormonal contraception (such as condoms and spermicide) as back-up if you have sex within 7 days after missing tablets.
I missed ONE or more peach (inactive) tablets are missed in the fourth week.
Throw away the missed inactive tablets. Keep taking one tablet each day until the pack is empty. Back-up nonhormonal birth-control method is not needed but take the next pack on time.
