To @Anna:
You can skip the white Drovelis tablets and start a new pack right away. During an extended cycle, spotting or mid-cycle bleeding may occur.
Can you skip the white tablets and start a new pack of Drovelis? Does there have to be a 4 day break?

For @Asia: If you have taken the 24th active tablet of Drovelis in less than 24 hours from the standard time of taking the preparation, contraceptive protection has been maintained. The next tablets should be used at a fixed time: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/111326/drovelis-tabletki-powlekane/apteki More about how to use contraception correctly, we wrote in the article: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/jak-prawidlowo-stosowac-antykoncepcje
And when I forgot yesterday to take a 24 pink tablet with drovelis, this morning I took, can I continue and in the evening take white or start a new package with pink?

In such a situation, there is no reason to worry. The white tablet in the Drovelis blister is a placebo tablet - it does not contain the drug. So by taking a pink and white pill at the same time, you acted as if you had taken the pink one yourself - white is "empty" = a placebo tablet without the active substance. Now you should finish taking pink tablets, then move on to white ones - that is, as you have done so far. On the 4th day of using white tablets, due to the fact that you do not have a placebo tablet, you do not take anything - this is tantamount to taking a white tablet. Then you need to proceed to the new pack of tablets. I'm attaching a link to our short video about placebo pills:
