i keep reading everywhere that you have to
take the pill "at the same time" every
day? What kind of time span do I need to
do this in? I am currently taking it
with my lunch, but sometimes I eat as
early as 11 and other times as late as
1:30, depending on when I can get away.
Is this 2.5 hour span too long of a time?
And all the websites say that if you
miss a pill, take it soon and use backup.
Well what if you miss it by like an hour
or two? How long do I need to miss it by
to count it as a "missed pill"? It seems
like all the stuff on the net is so
generic and won't give it to me in
minutes. Anyone with knowledge about
this would be a great help! Thanks!

I was told that for combination pills that
you have a +/- 2 hours from your "traget
time" to be considered on time. "late"
is after that, and "missed" is more then 8
hours off your target.

I was told it's an hour on each side. Its
best to take it asap so it's more
effective!
