If you forgot to take one Yaz pill, you should take the missed pill as soon as you remember. If you remember the missed pill on the same day, take it immediately and then continue with your regular schedule.

If you remember the missed pill the next day or later, take the missed pill as soon as you remember and then take your next pill at the usual time. This means you may end up taking two pills in one day, but that is okay.

It's important to remember that if you forget a pill, your chances of pregnancy may increase, especially if you miss more than one pill or if it’s during the first week of your pack. It’s wise to use a backup form of contraception, such as condoms, for at least the next 7 days after missing a pill.

If you have more specific concerns or are unsure about what to do, consider consulting your healthcare provider for personalized advice.
