Hello, I take Harmonet contraceptive pills (75 micrograms of Gestoden and 25 micrograms of ethinyl estradiol), today I take 6 pills. I was late taking the tablet 3.5 hours. Is the effectiveness of contraceptive pills reduced? Best regards

Harmonet tablets should be used at about the same time of day, e.g. always in the morning or always in the afternoon. There is no need to observe a specific time of use of the tablets, so a 3.5-hour delay from the time when you usually use the tablets is irrelevant in this case and the protection is maintained.
