How To Take Levlen ED ?
Hi I ve never been on BCPs before and I ve been prescribed Levlen ED by my doctor . I intend to take it on the first day of my period, but unsure whether I should take the active beige pill or the dummy white pill on the first day? Thanks for the help.

Hello;
welcome to HeathcareMagic
Levelen ED is a birthcontrol pill and you have to start the course with the active pills.For your confusion start with pills which are 21 pills similar in color.those are the active pills then follow with the 7 pills of same color.By the time you finish the 7 pills you will get your periods.For better effect use the pills regularly and if you miss a pill at night please take the forgotten pill next morning and take the other pill as usual in the night.
Thanks
