Welcome to HealthcareMagic,
Althea is oral contraceptive pill and needs to be taken regularly. If you have missed only one tablet and taken two on the next day, the protection of the pill will be effective and you have nothing to worry about. You are not pregnant and the occasional spotting can be present sometimes.
Continue taking the pills as usual.
Hope that answers your question.
Regards, Dr.Imaad.
