Hi

Start the new brand on active hormone pills and skip the pill-free interval (i.e. follow active tablets of the former brand with active tablets of the new brand without a pill-free interval). Following this advice means that the woman will miss a withdrawal bleed for that cycle.

Another option is to apply the 7 day rule and use alternative methods of contraception, such as condoms and a spermicide (which should be prescribed during the consultation), until such time as 7 active hormone tablets have been taken from the new pack.

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