The Pill must be ingested daily, within 12 hours of the same time each day (for progestin/estrogen pills — as opposed to within 3 hours for Progesterone only pills).
So it depends which type of pill you are on.

FOR BEST RESULTS IT DOSE MATTER IF YOU DO TAKE IT AT THE SAME TIME every day. If you missed 1 dose and doubled up on it may risk interrupting your menstrual cycle but usually won’t give you a greater risk of getting pregnant unless you just started on the pill.

If you take it at the same time every day, it's more effective because it keeps a more constant level of hormones in your bloodstream. Taking it a few hours late is usually not a big deal as long as you don't do it often.

No, just be sure to pick a time of day and stick with it. Missing days or even hours can affect its effectiveness.

I think it shouldn't hurt long as it is in with in 12 hours but just to make sure use a condom too or abstain for a week to get your body reacclumated.

No, that wouldn't be a problem. You can even take two on one day if you've forgotten the day before.
