If I took a pill from a damaged blister, is contraceptive protection maintained?

To @Ania:

Taking an extra tablet does not affect the effectiveness of contraception.

Because I took 2 Vibin pills today, this month I will take 22 instead of 21. Doesn't it reduce the effectiveness if I took 2 Vibin tablets in one day?

Good morning. Today I had the same situation as you below. I took a Vibin pill in which the foil was damaged, but I don't know how much it was damaged. This is an 8 active tablet. I took it at 7 p.m., but suddenly I thought that its effectiveness might be reduced, so at 8 p.m. I took an extra pill from the spare blister. Is the effectiveness of the tablets maintained? And if the first pill didn't lose its effectiveness and I took the second one an hour later, nothing happened? Did I do the right thing?

Thank you very much for your comprehensive answers 🙂

Yes, protection will be preserved.

If I did not swallow this spare pill and when I do as you said, contraceptive protection will be preserved?

So then it will be the most correct procedure as you say - if I skip the placebo tablets and immediately take active pills today and not on Saturday as before? This will not affect the effectiveness of "Pinda" and contraceptive protection will be preserved? Can you do this once and skip the placebo tablets and immediately go to the next package?

Usually, if you miss a tablet at week 3 (i.e. if you have doubts about the 19th tablet, this applies to you), it is recommended to skip the placebo tablets and go straight to the active tablets from the next package.

So I should take a placebo pill and then, as always, start another blister? Will the effectiveness of contraception then be preserved?

7 days is enough.

These 7 days will provide me with full contraceptive protection? You do not have to protect yourself, for example, for 14 days?

Yes, you can apply additional security for 7 days. It is also recommended to skip the placebo tablets. Relations before are protected.

It was the 19th tablet of the 3rd week. So in this case I should additionally protect myself for 7 consecutive days?

It depends on which week the tablet was missed.

And if I did not take the tablet from the spare blister, will all relations 7 days before this situation be protected? Now for 7 consecutive days I should additionally protect myself?

And if you have taken such a tablet and you have concerns about the effectiveness, can you take an additional tablet from a spare blister?
