• If less than 12 hours have passed, the contraceptive effect of Lactinet is not reduced, therefore additional methods of contraception are not needed. The remaining tablets are taken on a regular schedule;
• If more than 12 hours have passed, the contraceptive effect of the drug may decrease, so taking the pills should be continued as usual, but barrier barrier methods of contraception should be used additionally for 7 days. If the next admission was missed in the first week of Lactinet use and unprotected sexual intercourse took place in the previous 7 days, there is a possibility of pregnancy.
