Hello. I mistakenly took 2 Vixpo birth control pills at once. I looked at my watch and it's after midnight, Thursday. By chance, I took a pill from Wednesday and Thursday. When the time comes (in the evening) to take the Thursday pill, should I take the Friday pill or not take any? Should I limit intercourse? What to do in this case?

For @Xyzu: In this situation, do not extend the 7-day break so that the next blister of tablets starts on the same day. Also, do not skip the extra tablet on Friday. For example, on Friday, he can use a tablet from an additional blister or use a shorter interval between blisters, so that the next pack starts on the same day of the week as usual. In both cases, protection will be maintained.
Or if on Thursday you took a Friday pill, on Friday you can take 1 day break? If so, in this case, how much time not to have intercourse so that pregnancy does not occur?
Is it possible to skip this day and take the pill normally on Friday? So that you start the blister on the same day as before. I am afraid that shortening the period by one day will result in a negative effect.

In order to maintain contraceptive protection, the most beneficial action in this situation will be to take the Friday pill on Thursday and then follow this scheme until the blister is completed. At the same time, you will start each subsequent packaging one day faster (if you started new packaging, e.g. on Wednesday, then from now on you will start it on Tuesday).
