Should One Skip A Pill Or Compensate?

Hello,

I have a question about my birth control. I am taking levora. I don't really have anything on my history. I am healthy. I am scheduled to take my bc between 10 and 11 and I forgot until 1:50 do I need to take 2 pills or am I ok to just take it tomorrow morning?

Hi,
Welcome to Healthcare magic.
I am Dr Ramadevi Wani. I will be answering your concerns.

Take the missed bc pill now. Tomorrow take the pill at scheduled time, i.e.between 10-11. Please remember to take it regularly at the same time daily. Otherwise it may not provide protection against pregnancy.

In order to not forget taking the pill daily, try setting alarms or reminders.
I hope this is helpful.
