If you have lost a pack of contraceptive pills in the last week, there is a risk that the effectiveness of your contraception will be reduced. In this case, you may need to use an additional method of contraception (e.g. condoms) until you start a new pack and for the first week after you start it.

If you want to stop taking the pills and wait for the withdrawal bleeding and then start a new pack, you will need to use additional contraceptive protection (e.g. a condom) until the end of the cycle and for the first 7 days of taking the pills from the new pack.

If you have intercourse during a time when the correct use of the pills is imbalanced, there is a chance of pregnancy. If you notice symptoms that may indicate pregnancy, you should take a pregnancy test, the types of which can be found at the following link:

I encourage you to consult your gynaecologist or general practitioner to obtain a prescription for a new pack of medicine. If you are not able to have such a consultation with your doctor, you can use the teleconsultation:

The GdziePoLek.pl service also allows you to book the medicine at a selected stationary pharmacy and collect it after presenting a prescription:
