I took my pill (YAZ) continuously for 24+7 days of medication (not the placebos) I had stomach pain and I would like to stop it for a few days

Good morning, ma'am,

If you have been taking the active tablets for at least 21 days without missing a dose, yes you can take a break. The contraceptive effect will remain as long as the break does not exceed 7 days.

Sincerely,

Tom Samaha, pharmacist
