Czy mogę pominąć 4 tabletki (Anonymous, 178.0.54.) Warszawa 18 months ago

Does stopping the use of birth control pills for 4 days weaken their effectiveness?

I want to change the starting day of the blister of Orlific tablets. I actually had two pills left from the second week, the whole third and a placebo. Can I not take active tablets for 4 days (2 from the second week, 2 from the third) and start a new blister on the fifth day? Will I have to apply additional security for the next 7 days?

If you stop taking the pills in the middle of the cycle for 4 days, you should be aware that the effectiveness of contraception will be reduced. In this situation, when starting to take the pills again for the first 7 days, an additional method of contraception should be used. Below is a link that allows you to track availability, reservation and on-line purchase with collection at the selected pharmacy upon presentation of the prescription: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/88838/orlifique-tabletki-powlekane/apteki We wrote more about two-component contraceptive pills in the text: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/kategorie/tabletki-antykoncepcyjne-dwuskladnikowe We suggest how to properly use contraception in the material: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/jak-prawidlowo-stosowac-antykoncepcje
