If you are on a combination pill, and not a "mini" pill, you can take the pill at either time. - Whatever you prefer, whatever time fits better.

While it's important to take the pill at the same time each day, 23 hours instead of 24 hour break between two combination pills will not harm effectiveness.

You can take your Nordette at the same time regardless of the daylight savings change. One hour won't make a difference. [ ]

Hope this helps,
