Forget to Take a Pill
Posted: 07-29-07 20:34pm

I've been using the ERRIN birth control 28 tablets. I always take it every 8 p'm. But unfortunately I forgot to take one yesterday that already passed 24 hours . What should I do. Please respond as soon as possible.

You should take both pills now probably. Look at your paperwork that comes with the prescription.

As with most pills, take the missed pill as soon as you remember, and also remember to take the pill you are supposed to take today. It is safe to take two pills in a day.

That's not a very helpful answer.

Just to put it out there, with most 28 combo pills it says "if you miss 1 pill you do NOT have to use back up method."
But once you miss two, always use back up!
(This forum has already gotten all the good anwsers but I always check other forums for anwsers, this might be an anwser for others!)

Yeah just take it as soon as you remember.

You are protected if you miss a pill, but you still have to take it (as in, take two in one day if necessary.)

If you miss two pills in one week, then you have to use back up.
