Don't take two pills at once, that's not good for your body.
If you missed a pill then take it as soon as you can or remember. If it is the next day simply skip it and use another form of contraceptive. Keep the pill for later in case you lose one.
Let your daughter know that she is not fully protected. I don't want to be offensive, I read your question, but just in case.
Tell her to take that pill asap and go on like normal like it never happend. She does need to take it though.
Yeah, since she's not using it for contraception,t here's not much of an issue here, generally the rule is, if you forget it take 2 the next day, then continue as normal. If however she was using it for contraception, she would follow the 7 day rule of taking the pill for 7 consecutive days while using alterntive protection. There is no issue with taking 2 pills, it is not bad for you, it's usually written in the insert that you should do this if you forget it.
