Explain The Dosage Of Althea Pills

1st time user of Althea pills....it says on the drug lit to have a 7-day free pill and take the next pill of a new pack on the 8th day..this should fall on the same day of the last pill taken. it doesnt make sense. because if i want to follow same day, it should be on the 7th day, not on the 8th day...so what should I follow?

Hi,

Definitely. It is confusing. It should be like this----Take the next pill of new pack on 8th day taking the last pill day as 1st day.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Satnarain Bansal, General & Family Physician
