Do I need to take contraceptive pills every day?
Asked by Female, 29 · 1 month ago
Yes, you need to take contraceptive pills every day at the same time to maintain their effectiveness in preventing pregnancy. Missing a pill or taking it late can reduce protection and increase the risk of pregnancy, and may require using additional contraception.
