Should I take the two missed tablets and continue taking the pack? Is the morning after pill necessary?

If you have forgotten to take two pills from your contraceptive pack, it is recommended to take the missed pills as soon as possible and continue taking the rest of the pack. However, if the missed pills occurred in the first week of the pack, it is best to seek advice from a pharmacist. In this situation, it may be necessary to use a morning-after pill to ensure contraceptive effectiveness. It is important to take action within 72 hours of the unprotected sexual encounter.
