Can I take a break in a few days between packs of Orlifique tablets? And will the protection be preserved when I start a new packaging after a few days?

The key point is why you want to take such a break? Have there been any contraindications to taking this preparation? If a more serious procedure is necessary, sometimes you need to stop using contraception for some time - then the doctor informs you exactly when and for how long you should stop using the method. Against pregnancy, you need to protect yourself in a different way during this time. If there are no health reasons, do not take any breaks between the packages of Orlifique - this means that there is no protection against pregnancy, and in addition, side effects may appear. Blister Orlifique contains 21 pink tablets containing active substances and 7 white placebo tablets. The placebo pills are "empty" – they contain no hormones and replace the seven-day break that occurs with some other contraceptives. However, if you extend your hormone-free period for more than 7 days and do not start the new Orlifique packaging in time, the contraceptive effect disappears. It is as if you missed the first few tablets from the blister. According to the Orlifique leaflet, if you have missed more than one tablet in the blister, contact your doctor. In addition, sexual intercourse performed in the week preceding the omission of the tablet or tablets from the beginning of the blister may also be at risk.
