How Long Should Marvelon Be Taken?

Hi Doctor, I have been on Marvelon 30/150 (21day) contraceptive pill for 4 years. Recently i have had a flu and took some medicine, right after that on the 15th day of the pill, i have had my period until today ( 19th day). I have been taking my pill anyway, Please advise if i should keep taking my pill until 21st day, then stop for 7 days like usual; or shall i start the new pack already and take another 21days without a break? Pls advise. Thanks a lot!

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

Let your cycle complete for one week, this time use protected sex if interested. After that take fresh new pack then start complete 21 days then leave for seven days. I think I answered to your question if you have more questions feel free to ask.

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