Hello Doctor,
I am taking contraceptive pill as per my doctor's prescription.This is my second packet which I am taking right now(started day before yesterday).But unfortunately I forgot to take the pill yesterday.Reading the instructions, I took the pill soon today morning @ 9:30.As my doctor is out of station I would to like to seek your help regarding what precautions should I take in future. Hope you will help me in sorting out my problem. Thank you & waiting for your reply.

What is the name of the prescription, since there are dozens or more. And what is the dosage? Have you goggled the name of the medication? Have you read the instructions with it

Most times if you miss a pill you double up the next day, but it is recommended that you use a backup birth control method for this cycle.

If you plan on having sex then use a condom as well. Actually, even if you don't miss a pill a condom is a good idea.
