Abstract
Answer A.
Current ‘missed pill guidelines’ for the progesterone-only pill state:
‘If you forget a pill, take it as soon as you remember and carry on with the next pill at the right time. If the pill was more than 3 hours (12 hours for ‘Cerazette’) overdue, you are not protected. Continue normal pill taking but you must also use another method, such as the condom, for the next 2 days’.
