If used exactly as instructed, birth control pills can be up to 99.7% effective. However, timing errors and forgotten pills, can result in birth control pills being closer to 91% effective. Needless to say, the more consistent you are with taking your birth control prescription medication as prescribed, the more likely it to be more effective.
