Is It A Problem To Miss One Of The Dose Of Marvelon Birth Control?

Hi. I'm taking marvelon birth control (21 day pack). Today is the final day of my 3 week cycle

I just realized I missed one pill earlier. I'm pretty sure it was on Thursday night (so my 4th to last pill in the cycle)

I kept talking my Friday and Saturday pill normally but now at my last pill I realize I have one more pill left. What should I do? I'm pretty sure I missed on Thursday but not positive.

Hello,

Nothing will happen in case you miss a single pill. No additional contraceptive method is required. You can continue the rest of the cycle as usual.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain
