What to Do If You Miss a Birth Control Pill

If you've missed a single hormonal pill (within 24-48 hours) or if you are just late in taking one (less than 24 hours), here’s what you should do:

  • Take the missed or late pill immediately when you remember.
  • Continue your regular schedule with the remaining pills at the usual time, even if that means taking two pills on the same day.
