Will Skipping A Dose Of Generess Fe Pills Cause Any Problems?

Hello! I have a question considering my generess fe pills. I missed one pill until i remembered the next day. So, I took it immediately. Then, I accidently did not take the pill for that day until four hours after my scheduled time to take it. It says that If I miss 2 pills I need to use backup birthcontrol the next seven days. However, I did not entirely miss the pill. I only missed the second pill by four hours. What would you advise me?

Hi, welcome to Health care magic forum.
If you miss 2 pills means to miss for 48 hours,so it doesn't count for you. If you miss for 4 hours,you can take it when ever you remember. If one day passed take 2 pills the next day.
This is for safety of the failure of conception. So don't worry about it.
Wishing for a good luck. Thank you.
