Re: paranoid?-To Dr. MarchbeinFrom: Jennifer (anonymous@obgyn.net)Sun, 29 Apr 2001 19:53:49 -0500 (CDT)
Dear Doctor: Thanks for your reply, it's helped ease my mind. I have another question though, you say "just get close", but what exactly is "close"? I've heard that you can only be 2 hrs late in taking a pill, and in another column i've read you can be as much as 36 hours late and still be okay! What is an "okay" amount of time to be late? (I know you should get as close as you can though to the normal time). I just ask because today I was about 15 minutes late taking it so I'm worried again. (But this time, I got me a watch that's set with an alarm:) ) Thanks in advance... At Sat, 28 Apr 2001, Harvey S. Marchbein, M.D. wrote: > >Nah.
