What happens if I took Vixpo active pills for 27 days instead of 24 (I skipped the placebo by mistake)?
Good morning I take Vixpo birth control pills . I probably took 27 birth control pills, but the pink active ones, and I should take 24 active pills, and 4 pills I took a placebo. What happens if I take the active 27 days instead of 24?

For @Anna: Yes, use additional protection for the next 7 days of using active tablets.
And what if I took 2 placebo tablets and earlier instead of 24 red tablets, i.e. the active ones, I took 27 of the red ones and then I took 2 placebo tablets and took the active ones again, or do I have to protect myself for a week? (condom) ?

According to the information contained in the leaflet - in the case of this type of mistakes, the manufacturer recommends using additional protection for 7 days.
Is only a week enough?

If you have already taken a placebo, you should use additional protection (condom) for the next week of using contraception.
And what if I took a placebo, what will contraceptive snuffs no longer work? I mean, they won't protect me from pregnancy anymore?

The described situation requires following the procedure for delaying the onset of menstruation. Skip the placebo tablets altogether and continue taking the active tablets from the new blister until the blister is finished (in which case you should start taking the placebo as planned). Spotting/bleeding may occur during this time - this is a common side effect in this situation.
