Hello dear
I understand your concern
Althea is contraceptive pill and highly effective in preventing the pregnancy.
It has just 0.5 % failure rate after regular use.
Just 15 minutes delay in taking pill does not affect its efficacy.
Take the remaining pill in the pack regularly at the specific time.
Hope this may help you
