Sickness/diarrhoea on pill - confused! Help!

Please help!

I took the contraceptive pill Rigevidon last night and this evening I have had a severe stomach upset.

I am reading the instructions but can’t work out if I need to take an extra pill as well as the one I was due to take tonight

anybody know?

if it’s relevant, last night was the last pill in my pack but I was planning to continue the packets back to back as I want to skip my period (romantic getaway planned this week which is now possibly scuppered - fgs!)

Thank you. This is also what the instructions in my pack say.

so i interpret that as I don’t need to take an additional one because the sickness was more than 3 hours after taking the pill. Is that right?

That's how I would read it. And just take the next one at your usual time.

Thank you. Just hope that is the last of it!

Use additional protection. My eldest is due to sickness whilst on the pill!

Thank you. We were planning to anyway. I am very cautious 😂
