Shall I Take The Same Phased Birth Control Pill After Throwing Up The Previous One?

To who it may concern, I appreciate your help a lot. I could not find the answer online, and I currently don t have a personal physician to ask. I am eighteen years old, and I plan to go back on my combined birth control oral contraceptive called ,Tri-Sprintec. I have a question that worries me a lot. If this birth control pills are triphasic, have three different phases, each week has a different amount of progesterone hormone, so if I throw up in one hour after taking a pill and it is most likely missed and take next one from the same phase, will it reduce the effectiveness of my birth controls because of taking,in this case, six instead of seven pills of that phase according to the whole cycle ?

Hi,

Nothing will happen in case you had missed one pill or vomited after taking the pill. You can take the missed pill on the next day along with that days’ pill. You won’t require any backup methods or an emergency pill.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
