Can I take a second Drovelis pill if I don't remember if I took it today?
I take Drovelis, unfortunately I do not remember whether I took the fifth tablet taken out of the blister today. Should I take the tablet from the spare blister as soon as possible to ensure full protection - even if it means that I have taken the right tablet and extra one?

To @Kamila: Yes, protection is preserved. According to the manufacturer: "If less than 24 hours have passed since the scheduled intake of the pink tablet containing the active substances, the effectiveness of contraceptive protection is not reduced. Take the forgotten tablet as soon as possible and use the next tablets at the usual time."
Thank you for your reply. I understand, according to the pill leaflet, that if I take an "extra"/missed Drovelis within 14 hours of taking the pill as a planned take, do I maintain full contraceptive protection?

Yes, if you are not sure whether you took the pill, it is worth taking an additional tablet that day, even if it turns out that you took it "extra". This is safe (although it should not be abused, as it increases the risk of side effects after pills) and will ensure the continuity of contraceptive protection.
