my doctor told me that you need to use another form of birth control for at least a month. It may seem excessive~but better careful then pregnant!

Seven days - it's what it says on the packet. Seven days after missing a pill, or seven..., seven days after having diarrhea or vomiting within hour of taking a pill, seven days after finishing a course of antibiotics or antifungal medication. Use condoms in the meantime.

about a week. id be safe and go with 2 weeks though, just to be safe, use a condom for a couple weeks.
