A member asked:
Can i skip my period on multiphasic pills by just skipping the placebo pills and starting a new pack?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Some do: Some doctors will prescribe continuous use of birth control. The 21 active pills are taken and then on day 22 one starts the next pack. We can not advise you to take medication differently than you were prescribed. You can check with the prescribing doctor to determine if this is a reasonable course of action for you.
