A member asked:
If i take my bc pill within 4 hours of my time is it ok? i'm sometimes early or late, will it leave me unprotected?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
NO: Missing the exact time of day by a few hours is OK, but try to take it regularly on time. Put reminders on your cell phone or leave the pills where your tooth brush is for example, to remind you take it daily at the same time. Good luck.
