What specific instruction should be given to any woman starting a 28-day preparation of the combined oral contraceptive pill (OCP)?
Women who use a 28-day preparation should understand that there are seven days of placebo tablets.They need to start a new pack immediately after the last one is finished. It is prudent to be diligent about this discussion because women, especially teens, discuss combined OCP usage among their peers and may be told to take a week off between pill packs by a friend who uses a 21 day pack.
