It depends: On where you are in the pack. If you are in the first two weeks, take a pill as soon as you remember. Then take the next pill at the usual time. You will need to use back up such as condoms and spermacide for 7 days. If yo are in the third week, don't finish the pack. Throw away the remaining pills and start a new pack. You will also need to use condoms for 7 days.
