I know that the white pills for the 4th week of the pack are called inactive pills and are hormone free...but do i HAVE to take them? I've been using Yasmin for about 5 months now,and i haven't used them at all. Are they STRICTLY reminder pills or do i HAVE to take them???

You don't have to take them.

I never took them, but you need to remember to start taking your pills the next week.
