Regular intake of birth control pills is crucial for their effectiveness. A delay of one hour should not significantly affect the effectiveness of contraception, especially if it is an incidental event. However, in such a situation, intracyclic spotting may appear, with preserved protection.

Appreciate the answerer and highlight the question on the home page

User questions and answers that provide feedback about products are not verified for the purchase or use of the product. Companies often order anonymous comments to form positive opinions about their products, or negative ones about competitors. Therefore, be guided by the information in the pharmacists' responses in the first place.
