A member asked:
I take my combination pill (vyfemla) every day between the hours of 11am and 3 pm at the very latest. is it still effective ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes!!: It is a 2 part oral contraceptive pill composed of a progesterone and an estrogen in component. You take it once a day x 21 days and then there are 7 days of blank pills and then you start all over again. As long as you don't skip doses oral contraceptives have a remarkable success rate of over 99%. The time of day you take it is irrelevant.
