What Are The Repercussions Of Missing A Dosage Of Nordette?
Can someone help me please? I took the first dose of nordette (as ECP) at 1:20pm yesterday and I forgot to take the 2nd dose at exactly 1:20am. It s already 9:25am, if I take the 2nd dose now would it still be effective? What should the best thing to do? Thanks.

Hi,
If you miss one light orange active pill, take it as soon as you remember and then take the next dose at your regular time. This may mean that you take two pills in one day.
It is better to take day time at morning. if you took 1:20 pm then why you worry again you take 1:20 pm only. If you miss to pills in a row means take two tables in day for two days followed by regular normal dose. If you miss three doses then throw the pack and start new one.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
