I dropped my pill on the floor, how should I handle taking it?

If you drop your birth control pill on the floor, the best solution would be to start a new pack immediately after finishing the current one without taking a break. It is not necessary to have a break in between packs. If you want to have a break, you should consult with a pharmacist about taking emergency contraception. When starting the new pack, it is important to use a backup method of contraception such as a condom for the first 7 days. Remember that bleeding during the break period is not a true period and does not impact your health.
