A member asked:
I am in the first moth of my birth control and more than half way through, i missed my pill today by about 8 hours what should i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Birth control: Take the missed pill and then continue to take your pills as you would normally. 8 hours should not make a huge difference in effectiveness but you can certainly use condoms until you complete this pack and the first week of your second pack just to be certain.
