What should I do if I mistakenly took two tablets a day instead of one in the first week of using Microgynon?

Taking a single dose of Microgynon does not pose a health risk or reduce the contraceptive efficacy of the preparation. However, you may experience temporary side effects, such as nausea, breast tenderness or minor spotting, resulting from a sudden increase in hormone levels in the body.

For further action, please continue taking the tablets on a schedule, i.e. take the next dose at a fixed time the next day. However, you must remember that due to taking an additional tablet, the entire package will end one day earlier than usual. This results in earlier withdrawal bleeding and the need to start a new blister one day earlier to maintain full protection in the next cycle.
