Hello pharmacist,
The pharmacist asked me what to do if I take an extra pill of 21 pills per day? Do I need to make up another pill from another pack to take it for 21 days? Thank you pharmacist.

Hello friends,
With the question "What should I do if I take an excess of 1 daily pill of 21 pills? ", the pharmacist would like to answer as follows:
Daily contraceptive pill pack of 21 pills containing 21 pills with the same ingredients, you can use 1 pill per day for 21 consecutive days, then take a break for 7 days before continuing the pack. next.
In case you take an excess of 2 pills in 1 day, you can continue to use 1 pill at the same time every day for the following days without affecting the effectiveness of contraception. However, the dosing schedule will change, you will finish the pack sooner. It should be noted that even if you finish taking the medicine earlier, you still need to rest for exactly 7 days before continuing the next pack, if you do not want to change your dosing schedule, you can take 1 pill from another pack to make up for 21. day. However, it is recommended to use a new pack for the next cycle to avoid confusion.
If you still have questions about taking an extra 21 pill daily, 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.
