Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Nothing will happen in case you miss a routine birth control pill. You can simply take the missed pill along with the next days’ pill. No back up contraceptives or emergency pills are needed. You can continue the pills as usual.

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