What Are The Repercussions Of Missing A Dose Of Nordette?

Hi! I drank the first dose of nordette (4 pills) yesterday, 5 am. After 12 hours, I forgot to drink the second dose, I went to Mercury Drugstore to buy nordette but they were out of stock. I bought Trust pills today (11 AM) and I still havent taken the second dose since I was thinking if I should take the second dose 24++ hrs late or drink another first dose of Trust pills (4 pills) then take another dose 12 hrs later? Idk what to do yet. Replies are much appreciated. Thanks!

Hi,

Ideally if you missed the second dose of medicine then it has to be taken as if it is being taken on the schedule time but it has to be just one or two hours difference and no more than that if the time laps is more than two to three hours then just skip the second dose and think as if you have taken it continue taking the medicine for next dose (But it is not the method applicable in antibiotic.)

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
