Suggest Dosage For Microgynon-30 While Wanting To Take A Break

I m on Microgyson 30 (combined pill) & I took the 21 days tablets at the same time for all the days. But then I wanted to move onto my next set and took them for four more days due to a holiday. I then thought I d take my 7day break mid second set but after reading online I worried that it might be more Effective to take the tablets until the end of the second set before then taking the 7 day break. With this being the case I took the tablet from yday and today, this evening. Is it best to finish the second set instead of midway? I m thinking on the effectiveness of the contraceptive. Also, once I finish the second set and take the 7 day break, will it erase this confusion for when I begin again?

Hello,

You need to complete the second set and then take 7 day break. Don't take any break midway of second set. Microgynon is effective as an oral contraceptive provided you use it as prescribed. Please do complete the second set and then take 7 day interval.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Pallavi M., Anesthesiologist
