Hi

It is better to take take the seven day pause as scheduled because taking a break from the drug is essential to reduce breakthrough bleeding.

It is always important to take the drug at the same time everyday to reduce any breakthrough bleeding.

Continuous use of the drug is not recommended since endometrial proliferation should be followed by shedding inorder to remove all the products and maintain uterine physiology.

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

Regards
