A member asked:
Im taking alysena 28. is it necessary to take placebo pills?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Placebo pills in birth control help remind you to take a daily pill and when to restart your next pack, so no you don't have to take them. Also, if your question is asking about taking continuous pills (no breaks between packs of active pills), then that's OK as well but talk to a provider about a schedule and the effects of not having your period.
