Hi,
Missing a single pill in a pack of Logynon birth control pills is usually not a cause for concern. However, it is important to take the missed pill as soon as you remember, even if that means taking two pills in one day. If you miss more than one pill, you should refer to the package insert for specific instructions or contact your healthcare provider.
The potential side effects of missing a pill or taking it late may include breakthrough bleeding or spotting, nausea, headache, breast tenderness, and changes in menstrual flow. It is important to use a backup method of contraception, such as condoms, for the next 7 days after missing a pill.
If you have missed more than one pill or have any concerns about your contraceptive method, you should consult your healthcare provider for guidance.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
