You don't have to take them, they are just sugar based pills I believe. I used to take the 28 pack b/c when I was younger and had a problem with the routine of taking them everyday. Now that I have it down to an art I take the 21 pack, doesn't even have the placebo's, I just don't take anything that week :)
It actually depends on your pill and why you are taking it. I am on Mircette and i actually DO have to take my placebos because they contain a little bit of estrogen in them to prevent breakthrough bleeding.
