Birth control pills are very effective in preventing pregnancy if used correctly and consistently. It's best to make up a missed pill if possible. Example: If you just missed one, take it as soon as you remember. If you don't remember until the next day, go ahead and take 2 pills that day. If you forget to take your pills for 2 days, take 2 pills the day you remember and 2 pills the next day. You will then be back on schedule. Use a backup method of birth control as well. Call your doctor for further instructions if you miss more than 2 pills.
