Take the missed pill as soon as you remember. If you miss more than one, check the pill pack's instructions or consult a healthcare provider.
Most healthy women can take them, but a healthcare provider should be consulted first, especially if you have certain health conditions or are a smoker over the age of 35.
Long-term use of birth control pills is generally considered safe for most women. Some studies suggest potential benefits such as reduced risks of ovarian, endometrial, and colorectal cancers. They can also offer more regular, lighter, and less painful periods, and can improve acne.
However, long-term use may also be associated with a slightly increased risk of certain health issues, such as an elevated risk of blood clots, particularly in smokers and women over 35. There's also a discussion about a possible link between prolonged use and a slight increase in the risk of breast and cervical cancer, though this is still subject to ongoing research.
