If you do not understand these directions ask your pharmacist nurse or doctor to explain them to you. Take the first pill in a package on the first Sunday after your period begins unless otherwise directed. Take one pill every day no more than 24 hours after the last dose. Try to take the pills at a time that you will remember every day for example just before bed with a meal or first thing in the morning. Taking the pill at night may help to reduce nausea or headache experienced because of the hormones. If you are on a 28-day cycle take one pill every day. When the pack runs out throw it away.

Follow the exact directions on the package information insert concerning missed doses. If you do not have a package information insert call your pharmacist doctor or nurse to find out what to do. In general: If you miss one dose take the dose as soon as you remember or take two pills at the time of your next regularly scheduled dose. There is little likelihood that ovulation will occur. You may however want to use a second method of birth control such as a condom or a spermicidal cream jelly or foam for at least 7 consecutive days following the missed tablet to ensure protection from pregnancy. If you miss two tablets in a row take the two missed tablets as soon as you remember or with your next regularly scheduled dose (three total). Or you may take two tablets each for the next two regularly scheduled doses (one missed tablet plus one regularly scheduled tablet for 2 days in a row). Chances are much greater that you may ovulate so you must use another form of birth control for at least 7 days following the missed tablets. It is even better to use a second method of birth control until your next period. If you miss three tablets in a row throw away the package and start a new package on the 7th day after the last day you took a pill. Use another method of birth control until you have taken a pill for 7 days in a row. Your period should occur during the 7 days without pills.
