Tablets must be taken every day at the same time of the day. If one active tablet is missed, take the missed as soon as possible.
If two or more active tablets are missed, take the last missed tablet as soon as possible. Continue taking one tablet a day and use non-hormonal contraception (such as condoms or spermicide) as back-up if the patient has sex within 7 days after missing tablets.
