7. The Missed Pill

As soon as a user realises she has missed a pill, it should be taken, even if it means taking two in one day. If two consecutive days are missed, protection for that cycle cannot be depended on. The remaining pills should be taken, but once again other contraception should be used. A missed or late pill may lead to breakthrough bleeding.
