I had unprotected sex and I am taking the contraceptive pill, am I protected against pregnancy?

The user is protected against pregnancy if they take the contraceptive pill regularly and without missing any doses. Missing doses, especially in the last week of pills, may decrease the effectiveness of the pill. In such cases, it is recommended to contact a pharmacy for further guidance on possibly taking a morning-after pill. It's important to use additional contraceptive methods such as condoms if there are concerns about pregnancy or sexually transmitted infections.
