It’s important to keep a regular pattern when taking the combined pill, as you need to take it every day in order for it to be most effective. However, if you do miss a dose or forget to take Gedarel 20 /150 one day, then you should take it as soon as you remember. Missing one dose but taking it within one day means you will still be protected from pregnancy. However, if you miss two doses consecutively then you may not be protected from pregnancy and so you should use alternative forms of contraception like condoms.

Should you begin the medication within the first 5 days of your period then you will be protected from pregnancy immediately. If you begin Gedarel 20 /150 later in your menstrual cycle, then you should use alternative methods of contraception like condoms to ensure you are protected.
