Medicine sequence missed for 1 day
My offline gynecologist prescribed me Desogestriel +Ethinylestradiol for 21 days from day 5th of my periods to control my excessive bleeding during menses.On the second day, day before yesterday I took a tablet which was at position of 8th day instead of at 2nd day by mistake.I didn't take the medicine on the 3rd day which was yesterday night as I first wanted to confirm from experts.Please suggest should I start the course all over again or just continue from the tablet at position of 2nd day in the packing from where I have left .Thank you.

If it was not prescribed for contraception and just for excessive menstrual bleeding then u can continue rest of the tablets without missing any pill
