A member asked:
My gf missed a combined belara pill with exactly 12 hours. she took the next pill on time. the night after we had unprotected sex. is ec needed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Once per day: Combined oral contraceptives should be taken once every 24 hours. If she was only 12 hours later from her usual time but took it within 24 hours of the last one there there is no issue. If she forgot an entire day then one should refer to the package insert which will instruct her to take two the following day.
