Hi. I was advise by my gp to start using the pills the first day of my menstrual period. I wasnt sure whether I shoud start with the red pill or start from the red area as indicated at the back of the pill. So I decided to take the first red pill,and the second day I realised that I should have started from the marked area so I took two pilss.. I dont know what to do now whether I should continue or just stop..
Hello there!  Thank you for asking and I think you are talking about Oral Contraceptives. There are 21 pills with 7 placebos of different color to resume menses.  It doesn't matter where in pill packet you start from as long as you take 21 in 21 days. And then 7 others which are basically Iron supplements to resume menses. And should be started from day one of the menstrual cycle which is the first day of bleeding. Anyhow what is missed. Continue the medications and follow the routine. Take red pills for 21 days and then seven iron supplement pills to resume menses and then repeat the phase. If the menses are irregular then you can start any timetable care of yourselfRegards Chat Doctor.
