HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
There are some birth control medications that can be used without a break (sugar pill) but this may not be the case for your medication.
The name of the pill that you are using is not mentioned, to determine if you can take your pill continuously, you would need to speak to your doctor.
I hope this helps
