Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I think, the inactive pills don't contain medicines but are used only to help you not to forget the habit of taking a pill. You can stay without taking anything for these days but don't forget to take the other set.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Olgeta Xhufka
