A member asked:
Do you really need to take oral contraceptive pills every night or depends on what particular time you started taking it? i took it 2:33 pm. is it ok
A doctor has provided 1 answer
For the most: Effectiveness bc pills should be taken at the same time every day , it can be off by 1-2 hrs, if occasionally it is off by more than that usually it should be ok, if u miss an entire day , take 2 the next day and use backup birth control the rest of that cycle.
