A member asked:
I was 4 hours late taking my birth control (vestura), usually take it at 7pm but wasnt home and took it at 11pm, does this make it ineffective?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not really: Lighter dose pills should be taken the same time every day. Later dosing may reduce effectiveness but does not make the BCP ineffective.
