A member asked:
Will i still be protected if i take a pill 24 hours late so take 2 at the same time?

In order...: In order to make sure you are fully protected it is recommended that if you miss your pill after 24 hrs you take double dose, but also to use condoms and be on the safe side. Not only use them that day but the rest of the week if you have sex during that period of time.
