Suggest Treatment For Accidental Intake Of Overdosed Rigevidon

Posted on Thu, 3 Jul 2014

Question: Hi, I am currently taking the pill Rigevidon. On monday I took two pills instead of one because I thought I forgot to take the sunday pill. So now I will finish my blister with one day in advance. what should I do? may I finish the blister then have 7 days break and then start the next blister? this of course would mean change my schedule but I wouldn't mind. I would prefer it because I don't want to use a whole blister only to gain back one pill

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear!
Dont worry because taking two pills acidentally in one day does not increase the riak of pregnancy.
You can take more than six but no more than seven sugar pills.
After six to seven sugar pills you can start using new pack.
All the best

Hi Vjollce!
Thank you for you answer.
One thing though, Rigevidon which is a 21 days combined pill 150 micrograms/30 micrograms coated tablets levonorgestrel and ethinylestradiol, so there are no sugar pills. Do I still follow your recommendations or should I do something different? By the way I didn't use any condoms after that mistake

Yes you should have 7 days break and then start the next blister.
You are protected so you dont need to use another method of protection.
