If you have taken Levonelle One Step® because of missed combined contraceptive pills, discard any missed pills and the pill for the day of treatment and continue to take your pill as usual. You should use a barrier method (e.g. condom) for the next 7 pills, and if those 7 days run over the end of the pack, you should continue with the next pack and miss out the 7 day break or placebo tablets, if taking ED pills.
