Education: Encouraged patient to continue to use a backup form of birth control is OCs are missed. Reiterate the importance of taking this medication as directed and maintaining only one sexual partner. Oral contraceptives can cause DVTs.

If you miss a dose, take that dose as soon as possible. If two doses are missed, take two pills immediately, then continue taking one pill daily. If this occurs, use a form of back up birth control for up to 7 days. The use of OCs do not prevent against the transmission of HIV, AIDS or other STDs. Begin self -breast exams on a monthly basis.
