The number of pills in a pack depends on the particular medication. The most common is 21 "active" pills (with medication in them) and 7 "inactive" pills (no medication). There are many other variations -- 21 active pills only, or 28 active pills only, or 77 active pills and 7 placebos, 24 active and three placebos, etc. Ask your pharmacist or prescriber about the type of birth control pill you have.
