A member asked:
My friend took all of her placebo pills in one day while on the active pills. she is going to skip her period so she didn't need them. is that safe?

Placebo Pills: Not dangerous but why take them? It will not cause her to skip her period unless she continues to take an active pill daily. All the best.

It is safe: Placebo pills are given so that you know when to start your next pack as there are 21 pills containing active hormones and you have to wait 7 days before starting next pack.It will not cause any harm.She will still get her period at the expected time.How is she going to skip her period?
