Do i suppose to take the brown pills in the birth control pill pack ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not necessarily: If there are 7 brown pills at the end of the pack, they are placebo pills, just there to remind you to wait 7 days before starting the next pack. You can take 1 daily or just wait 7 days.
