A member asked:

A doctor has provided 1 answer

BCP ?'s: The number of "active" pills in a current pack of oral BCP's is generally limited to 21 active pills and 7 placebo pills. Taking two active pills within "two hours" may result in minor withdrawal bleeding for a day or two in the next 3-4 days, but will not influence the pregnancy protection aspect of oral BCP therapy.
