Can 2 Tablets Be Taken On Second Day Of Periods While Swiping From One Contraceptive Pill To Another?
im using dianne pills for almost 3 months.. in the forth month i changed my contraceptive pills into althea, according to instruction if you change your pills you must take pill on your first day of your period, but im start it into 2nd day of my period and i take 2 tables.. its that okay if i take 2 tablets during my 2nd day of period.

Hi
The pills you can take 1 per day.You cant add 1 for the missing day on next day.You can continue the normal dose for further days.It is better not to skip any day doses as it causes decrease in the efficacy of contraception.In such cases you should use an additional contraception like condom for good efficacy.Let me know if you have any further query.
thanks
