If you have confused Vibin active tablets with placebo tablets that do not contain hormones, it is as if you had missed all doses of the medicine in the first week of use. In such a situation, the preparation does not have a declared contraceptive effect if the patient is sexually active. Protection against pregnancy is maintained only when the tablets are used correctly. Skipping one or more pills is a mistake and one of the most common causes of unwanted pregnancy when using oral hormonal contraception. According to the documentation of the drug Vibin: "Do not confuse the tablets: yellow tablets are taken for the first 21 days, then white tablets for the last 7 days. A new blister should be started immediately (21 yellow tablets, then 7 white tablets). So there is no gap between the two blisters." At the same time, it is difficult for me to assess how big this risk is. Realistically - due to the decrease in fertility with age, in a woman after 40 years it is increasingly difficult to get a natural pregnancy. At the age of 48, the probability of conceiving a child is already very small, even if the patient does not use any methods of contraception. In the situation described (if you miss more than one tablet), your Vibin documentation indicates that you need to contact your doctor. You may also want to take a pregnancy test. In the event of an error in the use of contraception, it is recommended to use an additional method of contraception prevention (e.g. a condom) until the contraceptive effect of the drug used returns. Pregnancy, on the other hand, is a contraindication to further use of the drug.
