Hello XXXXXXX

Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.

If you skipped just one pill, and took two together, then you have no cause for worry.
You still remain as protected as ever.

You are definitely safe for the next 7 days , until you take your pill free break.

However, please ensure that you take the rest of the remaining pills consistently and on time, without forgetting.

Hope this has helped you.

Take care, and feel free to discuss further if you have any doubts.
