Since November I have been taking Axia conti contraceptive pills, the pills were taken at the same time from the beginning, but in the second week of February I forgot to take the pill and was more than 12 hours late with it (the time I was at work). Has the protection been maintained in this situation?

The Sokoro error occurred in the second week of blister use, and all previous tablets (from the first week) were taken regularly, contraceptive efficacy is usually maintained and no additional protective methods are required. Take the forgotten tablet as soon as possible (even if it means taking two on the same day) and continue packing as planned. In such a situation, there is usually no need to use additional security.
However, if you have had unprotected intercourse or other mistakes in taking the pills in the 7 days before the omission, it is worth considering additional protection and consult a doctor if in doubt.
