Hi

You can take one more pill to make up for the missed pill.Do not worry.This will not resume your periods.But kindly do not repeat the same in the following days.

Avoid missing a pill or taking it irregularly at different time of the day, since this will alter your hormonal levels and cause menstrual irregularities.

Continue the pill for the prescribed days and stop for your withdrawal bleed to occur.Kindly come back if you have any more queries.Take care.


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