Do you have to take the pill at the same time each day? does it matter?

what happens if you forget? do you just take two the next day? im only taking this for my acne, not for contraception coz im not sexually active yet...

Answer:
Try and take one everyday around the same time. Just so the hormones are even thoughout the days. If you do miss a day, you can take it when you remember or the next day with the other one, taking the two will not hurt you.
I think they just want you to take it at the same time everyday to get you into the routine of taking it, so you don't forget.
It is best if you can remember to take you medication at or around the same time on a daily basis. It does not have to be the eaxct hour. For example, you can take it after you brush your teeth in the mornings or it could be the last tihing you do before you go to bed. Whatever you do you need to have a routine so that ther can be a consistent level of the mediation in your body. If you forget to take your medecine on any given day, do not double up. This can be very harmful.. Just take it when you remember then continue your routine for the next day. Hope this helps.
