Health Canada is warning the public after one lot of Seasonique birth control pills was recalled across the country due to a packaging error that left two pills missing — a defect that could increase the risk of unintended pregnancy.
The health agency issued the recall on Friday, urging people not to stop taking their birth control or skip any doses if pills are missing, and to get a replacement or alternative as soon as they can.
“If you cannot get to a pharmacy right away, take the next pill in the proper order as noted in the packaging until you are able to contact your pharmacist and obtain a replacement or alternative product,” Health Canada said.
