Back-up birth control and the pill?

Question

i'm quite good at taking my pill at the same time everyday, but i am wondering how much i can deviate from that before needing to use a back-up method. i checked the leaflet that comes with the pill pack and it didn't say, but i think i've heard 4-6 hours. can anyone verify? thanks!

Answer 1

anything under 12 hours is considered safe.
