This is my third month taking sprintec. I completely overlooked taking the pill last Saturday and didn't realize until today when I took the pack out of the holder entirely. I've taken every pill at the same time except for last Saturday's. I therefore took two today. Should I be worried that skipping a pill and catching up today caused ovulation? ## Yes, there is a risk of that, though only a slight one. You can use backup protection for the next 7 days, until you've made sure to take a pill each day, without missing any, so you'd be sure they are preventing ovulation, again. Otherwise, the only thing you can really do is wait and see if you start your period, when it's due. Oral OCs may also cause side effects, such as irregular bleeding, headache, irritability...

I usually put my Lexapro tablet in my back pocket before taking with dinner. Recently I found a tablet in my pocket which I guess I forgot to take at some point. The same week I had noticed feeling some of my old symptoms back after feeling ok for some weeks I'm wondering if missing one tablet could have caused that relapse ? For example, does the tablet I take today help me for the next 24 hours ? Or is its affect less direct and more cumulative over time ? Hope somebody understands my question ! ## Hello, Fred! How are you doing? Has there been any change? No, usually missing only one dose shouldn't cause such issues, though I do highly recommend finding a better storage spot for your pills, your back pocket is not idea. The FDA suggests investing in an inexpensive pill carrie...

after taking chantix for the first month a delay in my prescription refill caused me to not have chantix for 3 days. At what dosage should I resume taking it? ## Hi Buck, According to the Chantix site, If you miss a dose you should take it as soon as you remember. That being said, I would just stick with your normal dosage and pick up where you left off. You can view their webpage for more info: chantix.com/how-to-take.aspx I hope this helps!

I just realized i never took the two white pills from my last pill pack (lot going on). But i had my period so no worries and was going to just start my next pill pack sunday. However, i did not foresee my dr messing up (long story but will be switching dr.s) so, I was unable to get prescription filled until wednesday; 4 days after I was to begin taking the first pill. So doubling up wed, thurs and fri. I will use another form of b.c. for the next few weeks but am a bit worried that sunday I did not use backup (since I didnt know at the time I wouldnt b able to get b.c. that day). Just wondering how plausible getting pregnant would b because of this scenario? ## Hello, Chris! How are you? There is a slight risk, so if you don't get your next period, you'll want to look into the ...

Hi I have been using oralcon for a year now for the past month I missed my period and this month I bleed for one day only is it normal or thers something wrong. ## That can happen, sometimes, when you're taking hormonal contraceptives. As long as you haven't missed any and been engaging in intercourse, you shouldn't have to worry about pregnancy. If it continues for another month or two, then you should have it checked out. Are there any other questions or concerns?

Hey we'll I just wanted to let everyone know that I haven't had my period for like ages I don't remember but I am curious what to do accept go to the doctors and check what's wrong with me and yeah I've missed my period and I'm on the jadelle ## Hello, Te! How are you? Some women don't have periods while on the Jadelle implant. Have you had yourself checked for pregnancy? It's very doubtful that you are, you're most likely just skipping due to the hormone in the Jadelle.

I forget to start my sprintec pill on Sunday ,so I start it on Monday, is that okay? This is first time am using these pills. ## Hello, Sonia! How are you? You can start it any day, it doesn't have to be on a Sunday. If you start it the first or second day of your period, you will be immediately protected against pregnancy. However, if you start it at any point later in your cycle, you'll need to take it for a full 7 days, before it reaches its full level of effectiveness in your body, which means using a backup method of protection, until the 8th day. The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, irritability, weight gain and PMS-like symptoms. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I started my period yesterday which was Tuesday ...

Hi I was a week late with my lanreotide injection last month do I take this months on the date I should normally take it or do I take it a week late to make it the 4 weeks cycle? Many thanks Barbara ## Hi Barbara, From what I could gather, Lanreotide is usually given every 4 weeks for 3 months at a time. However, the prescribing packet for this drug notes that you should "contact your doctor for instructions if you miss an appointment for your lanreotide injection." So at this point it is now in your doctor's power to decided whether or not he should alter your dose of Somatuline Depot or the length of time in-between injections, based on his judgement towards your response to therapy. Have you not already discussed this with your doctor?

Hi I'm on lo loestrin and I missed 2 pills the first week of the pack and had break through bleeding but didnt have intercourse those days nor the day after double dosing but the following day I had unprotected intercourse is it possible to get pregnant not follwoing the 7 day rule?? ## Hello, Sara! How are you? And yes, it is possible, the risk isn't very high, but there definitely is a slight one. You'll need to wait this month to see if your period arrives on time and if it doesn't, then you'll need to be checked for pregnancy. It would also be advisable to consult your doctor, to be sure. Is there anything else I can help with?

hi I was asking if its possible to fall pregnant if I missed one white pill from the last line of white? I only realised that I didn't take it the following day when I had to take one for that day and then ended up drinking two at once. am almost done with the red ones but still can not see my periods. Could I be pregnant? ## Yes, every time you miss a pill it can increase your risk of becoming pregnant, according to NIH warnings. Have you had yourself checked for pregnancy, yet? Has there been any change? Are you on any other medications?

I haven't had my daily dose of pravastatin for three days. I get my prescription tomorrow. Will I be ok? ## Hello, Kelly! How are you? Why did you miss so many doses? There shouldn't be any severe problems, but it would be best to inform your doctor, so they are aware of the issue. Sometimes, suddenly stop such a medication can cause a rebound effect that elevates your cholesterol. The FDA classifies this medication as a statin and its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache and joint/muscle aches. Are there any other questions or concerns?

I take 600mg of gabapentin 3times daily for essential tremor. If I wait too long between doses I become confused dizzy and very tired. Also need to take upon rising in the AM. I Also have parkinsons but meds are not supposed to conflict.(azilect). Gabapentin works great for tremor but scary if I miss a dose. Any one else? ## How long have you been taking it? It's unusual to have a reaction that soon upon missing a dose. Learn more Gabapentin details here. However, since it is happening, what I'd suggest is your setting up some type of reminder system to avoid missing doses. I use an app on my iPhone that beeps whenever I need to take my next dose of medications, but even leaving yourself notes around the house could work. Have you tried any reminder methods?
