Question
Hello doctor,
I was taking birth control pills on the 12th pill when I lost the pill. The doctor asked me if I lost a pack of oral contraceptives I was taking, can I buy another pack to supplement? I would like to thank the doctor.

Answered by Master, Doctor Vu Duy Thai - Obstetrician and Gynecologist, Women's Health Center, Vinmec Times City International Hospital.
Hello friend,
With the question "If I lose my oral contraceptive pill pack, can I buy another pack to supplement it?", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
If you are taking oral contraceptives every day, If you lose the 12th pill of the birth control pill pack, you should buy another pack to continue taking the 13th pill onwards. It is important not to quit or stop for more than 3 days. You should buy the correct medicine that you are taking because each drug is different, the composition may be different.
If you still have questions about the loss of your unfinished oral contraceptive pack, whether you can buy another pack to supplement it, you can go to a hospital under Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
