Will Taking Rigevidon Pills The Same Time Everyday Have Impact On Effectiveness Of The Pill?
Taking rigevidon pills. i took it for 21 days and then had a 7 day break. in order to delay my period i waited an extra week untill starting the second pack. I am not sure that i took the pill at the same time everyday, will this have a major effect on the effectiveness of the pill?

Hi,
When taken correctly, rigvedon pill is over 99% effective at preventing an unwanted pregnancy. Since you had taken the pill for 21 days correctly and then had a 7-day break then took an 'extra week' to restart the new pack. This delay has exceeded 12 hours, so it may reduce the contraceptive effectiveness.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
