I had a look on MIMS online (drug prescribing info for doctors) and it only comes in a 28 day packet with 21 yellow active tabs and 7 white sugar tabs, with 3 packets (3 months worth) in the box. You do not have to take the sugar pill - you can either skip it or not take the pill for those 7 days. Hope this helps.

The 28 day one just includes 7 placebo pills to keep you in the habit pf taking a pill each day, even while you are on your period. You don't have to actually swallow the placebo pills. I just leave them in the pack. Just take the 21 active tablets and ignore the others.
