MISSED PILL ADVICE
progestogen only contraception (POP) - Mini Pill: Missed Pill
How late are they?
More than 3 hours late (12 hours for cerazette):
- Take the POP as soon as you remember. If you have missed more than one just take one
- Take your next POP at the usual time even if this means taking 2 POP’s on the same day
- You are at risk of pregnancy until you have been taking your POP’s again for 48 hours and you should use additional contraception such as condoms during this time
Less than 3 hours late (12 hours for cerazette):
- Take the POP immediately and take the next one at the usual time. You have not missed a pill and do not need to use additional contraception
