Safety of BCP's: They are extremely safe and effective. Missing one pill and taking it within 24hrs is the best procedure to follow.

Same time Daily: Birth control pills work best when taken at the same time each day. If you miss a pill take it as soon as you remember and take the next pill at the regular time. It is not a bad idea to use a backup method of contraception for a week after the missed pill. Always discuss this with your health care provider.
