A member asked:
What are examples of continuous or extended dose birth control pills?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
All of them: You can take any birth control pill continuously, just skip the placebos and continue taking an active pill. There is nothing different, more special or better about the pills marketed as continuous method except for the price. You can use the cheapest generic pill you can get and take that continuously. You will save some money.
