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?
