Taking Rigevidon. Missed Dosage. Am I Still Protected?

Hi I am in my first month of taking rigevidon birth control tablets. I am just in my third week (15th tablet) I was ment to take my tablet at 9.15am this morning. I forgot and didn t take till 9.40pm. So 25mins over the allocated 12hours am I still protected? If not what is best to do? Have tried to research and says to run pack together, can I do this in my first month? Thank you

hello,
thank you for using health care magic,
well i will suggest you that continue your pill as usual.. henceforth be careful and take on time regularly..
to be on safer side till the end of your this cycle take pills as usual and use additional barrier birth control method like condom.. from next month you can leave using condom and continue pills as usual ..
so this month use two birth control method pills and condom.. from next month only pills regularly..
hope my answer helped you..
