How do I handle forgetting to take my birth control pill?

If you forget to take your contraceptive pill, it is important to take it as soon as you remember and then continue taking it as usual. However, it will not be effective for the next 7 days, so it's important to use an additional form of protection during that time, such as a condom. If you have had unprotected sex in the last week, it is recommended to seek advice from a pharmacist about emergency contraception. It's important to stay informed and seek guidance from healthcare professionals if needed.
