Here’s a handy tool to help you figure out what to do if you miss a pill. You’ll need to know the name of the pill you’re on in order to use this tool. You can find the name on your pill pack or by calling your doctor or the pharmacy where you got it.

If you can’t find out the name of your pill, use a condom anytime you have vaginal sex until you’re able to talk with your nurse or doctor. If you’ve already had sex in the last 5 days since making a mistake, you may want to use emergency contraception.
