Started first pack of triquillar 28 and assumed first 7 pills are inactive so started with 8th pill but actually last 7 are inactive pls advise?
If you are still using the first packet, continue taking the pills. Pills 1 - 21 are all the same and it won't change the effectiveness for you to take them out of order. They are distributed in daily doses only to make it easy to see if a pill has been accidentally forgotten. The inactive pills contain no medication, they are simply a reminder to keep you on track by taking a pill everyday, if you forget to take one of the inactive pills - no worry's. Just start a new packet 7 days after taking the last active pill.
