Pill break

I’m on the combined pill (Maexeni, 30/50 Ethinylestradiol/Levenorgestrel) I have taken one full pack of 21 pills and have started the next pack, can I stop midway through this pack and have the 7 day break then start the rest of the pack after the 7days or do I have to take the whole of the 2nd pack

Best ask the GP/medic that prescried them, or look up the product on the internet to check this is safe to do with the type of pill you take.

I have done this and it was fine, as told by my doctors you don’t actually have to take the break you can take the pills back to back and have a break every couple of months. You can also have a 5 day break etc x

I usually take packs back to back and only take a 5 day break I was just curious if I could take a break halfway through a pack, I did it anyway and everything seems fine I hop lol x
