Hi,
Since you have missed only one pill and as you have made it up, you are sufficiently protected. You do not need any additional precautions usually. Please wait for your next period and go for help if you miss it, which should not happen in ordinary circumstances. If in case, you are anxious, you may take the emergency pill as an additional precaution; but, please remember, it distorts the hormonal balance and leads to breakthrough bleeds and irregular cycles. Hope you find this information useful. Take care.
