Good morning! I take Slinda tablets and on the 21st day I forgot to take this pill, I usually take at 18, this time I forgot and took it only the next day at 10am, then on the same day I took another one. I'm now on the 26th placebo pill, yesterday these placebo pills started. I also got heavy bleeding, which has been gone for a long time, is the protection still preserved? Or only from the next blister?

Slinda contraceptive pills should be taken every day at a fixed time at regular intervals of 24 hours. If more than 12 hours have passed since the standard hour of use, skip the use of placebo tablets and start a new pack with active tablets. The above procedure ensures the preservation of the contraceptive effectiveness of the drug, as we wrote in the opinions: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/opinie-i-pytania/25293/czy-opoznienie-o-dwie-godziny-w-przyjeciu-tabletki-slinda-w-14-dniu-obniza-jej-skutecznosc https://www.gdziepolek.pl/opinie-i-pytania/24459/slinda-czy-podczas-stosowania-slinda-wystepuje-krwawienie-i-ile-moge-spoznic-si I enclose additional information materials issued by the manufacturer of the drug: https://exeltis.pl/media/slinda_pacjentka.pdf The use of placebo pills in your case weakens the contraceptive effectiveness of Slinda. However, irregular spotting and bleeding may occur while taking Slinda. In the event that the bleeding is intense and does not go away, I encourage you to consult a doctor. You can also use the teleadvice offered, m.in. by the Gdziepolek.pl portal: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/telekonsultacja/z-ginekologiem We wrote more about how to use contraception correctly in the article: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/jak-prawidlowo-stosowac-antykoncepcje I enclose a link to check the availability of Slinda and make a reservation at the pharmacy of your choice: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/101505/slinda-tabletki-powlekane/apteki
