A member asked:
What could happen if i dropped one of my suger bc pills and couldn't find it will that effect me by missing 1 pill?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No effect from one: missing one pill should have no effect. Especially if it is one of the pills you take during the week of your menses as these have no active ingredient and are meant to just keep you on a daily regimen of taking a pill.
