Is my pill still effective even if I forgot to take one tablet?

Yes, the effectiveness of your pill may be affected if you forget to take a dose. It is important to take your contraceptive pill at the same time each day in order to maximize its effectiveness. Some oral contraceptives may still be effective if taken within a certain timeframe after the missed dose, but this can vary depending on the type of pill you are taking. It is always best to consult with a healthcare provider or pharmacist for specific guidance on your particular contraceptive pill.
