Should I skip the placebo pills in the Slinda blister if I am 1.5 hours late taking the 24th tablet?
I have been taking slinda tablets for several months. Today I took the pill 1.5 hours later than usual, and it was 24. Pill. Should I skip the green tablets or finish the packaging normally so that the protection is preserved

For @Gosia: The manufacturer of Slinda informs that: "If you take the pill later, the contraceptive effectiveness may be reduced. In this case, the use of a mechanical contraceptive method, e.g. a condom, should be considered for the next 7 days." It has not been specified what delay in taking the pill does not affect the effectiveness of contraception. Due to the fact that to ensure the full effectiveness of contraception, 7 days of uninterrupted use of tablets are needed to ensure maximum safety, an additional method should be used for the first 7 days of taking tablets from a new blister.
Thank you for your reply. However, I started taking placebo pills, because in other threads there was often an answer that such a time difference would not affect the effectiveness of the drug. Now I don't know if I did the right thing. Is additional security needed and for how long?

Please skip the green tablets and immediately switch to the white ones from the new package. Then the protection will be preserved. According to the manufacturer: " It is recommended that the patient does not take placebo tablets immediately, i.e. without taking a break between packages – she start taking active tablets from the next blister. "
